Tom Clarke and Gregor Robertson with all the latest from the EFL.
Coventry City top the Championship and Stevenage top League One…did anyone see that coming?
Frank Lampard has his team scoring for fun, and they’re not the only surprise in the Championship with Preston, Stoke and QPR all flying high. Does it sign post a change in football style or will the money and ‘progressive’ football of Ipswich, Birmingham or Wrexham eventually rise to the top?
In League One, two managerial changes as Blackpool and Luton ditch Steve Bruce and Matt Bloomfield. Was it coming and who is likely to fill the vacancies?
In League Two Walsall are back on top - can they stay there this time?

| 0:36.7 | Hello and welcome to the game football podcast from The Times. |
| 0:40.6 | This is our EFL extra show. |
| 0:42.5 | Every two weeks you've got me, Tom Clark, |
| 0:44.4 | and the former football league defender, Gregor Robertson, |
| 0:46.9 | looking at the highs and lows of the championship, |
| 0:49.7 | League 1 and League 2. |
| 0:51.7 | Gregor, we are back. |
| 0:53.1 | I said two weeks in that intro, |
| 0:54.3 | but it's actually been three because I had a little holiday. I've got to say, I was quite sad that you didn't do an NFL show just on your own. I thought you might just sit, you know, get the microphone out, get producer Neil involved, just ask yourself a few questions, just ramble on. I think it's doable, you know. There's always enough going on |
| 1:11.6 | that I could have just waffled |
| 1:12.5 | for half an hour easy. |
| 1:14.6 | I back you all the way. Your lovely little Scottish little. It'd be good for like insomniacs maybe. Just you whittling on about the football league. Anyway, something to consider next time I take a little break. Now, I said highs and lows in that intro. It doesn't get any higher than Coventry City. Top of the championship. What a run they've been on. Unbeating in the league, played 9, 1-5, drawn 4.

So for listeners who maybe not been paying full attention, Coventry's last three results, three-nill win against Birmingham, four-nill win at Millwall, and a five-nill win against Sheffield Wednesday on Saturday. Greg, you've said on this show already this season that you thought they'd challenge, but I'm not sure either of us, and maybe even any Coventry fans thought it would be this good. God, no, I mean, |
| 2:00.9 | yeah, I think I was thinking |
| 2:06.0 | back to that. I think in the previews we were kind of talking about obviously after last |
| 2:10.0 | season reaching the playoffs, Lampart had done an amazing job. I was kind of, I still remember saying |
