0:00.0	Hello, welcome ladies and gentlemen to the Not the Top 20 podcast, Ali Maxwell coming to you alongside, virtually alongside George Ellick's first time we've ever recorded a podcast over Zoom. So there might be slight reduction in audio quality, but there are very good
0:38.8	reasons for it. You might, for the first time, be able to see some of this pod at some point
0:43.7	over the next few days. So that is quite exciting. George, on the line with me. George, we had an
0:49.1	exciting Instagram live quiz answer reveal last night, and it sounded like you'd had a very pleasant weekend.
0:57.0	Yeah, so many different mediums at the moment for our content.
1:01.0	You know it's media. I like how you say, yeah.
1:04.0	Yeah, and you say, you say as well that I'm alongside you. I literally am. I'm looking at a screen and you are just the left of me. So that's
1:10.9	nice. That is really nice. But yes, here is the start of another footballist week, but that
1:18.9	doesn't mean there's not going to be plenty of not the top 20 content coming at you throughout

1:46.1	of Blade's analytic fame, a very popular guest on this podcast in the past. And he joins us again
1:52.9	today for about 25 minutes of goodness from Jay. We're talking about all sorts of stuff, really.
1:59.0	He's so involved now within recruitment in the EFL, with Peterborough United, of course,
2:04.1	a job that I'm still claiming that I helped him get, and with market insights as well,
2:08.7	which is really a football consultancy service that specialises in recruitment and works with EFL clubs.
2:15.7	So he's well placed to answer a few of our questions on the impact of the coronavirus, on the EFL, and specifically when it comes to recruitment.
2:25.3	But also, we wanted to get the good bits out of him as well. So he pushed him for some names in League 2, League 1 and in the championship that he is loving at the moment.
2:35.4	This is a man that spends even more time than we do delving into the data, watching the film
2:40.9	and trying to find out that the best value players and the future stars of the EFL.
