In the Championship (from the start) the panel look back at another poor result for Bournemouth, which allowed Blackburn to close the gap on the promotion-chasers, while Middlesbrough’s good run continued under Chris Wilder and Blackpool returned to winning ways.

We also hear from Middlesbrough’s Marcus Tavernier (33m31s), who answered our quickfire questions in Ten To Tackle.

In League One (37m54s) there was a left-field appointment by Ipswich as they brought in Kieran McKenna to replace Paul Cook, Charlton started with a defeat following the permanent appointment of Johnnie Jackson and Wigan kept up the pressure on Rotherham at the top

And in League Two (50m33s) the rise of Sutton United continued as they moved into the top three, Tranmere’s resurgence continued and Bradford rejected a crypto-currency takeover.

All that and much more!
