Essential EFL episodes

  • West Ham go for Parker, will Challinor revive Wednesday? And is this Salford's season?

    Sim is joined by Ben Tozer and David Stowell on the latest episode of Essential EFL.

    They start by discussing the managerial change at West Ham United where Nuno Espirito Santo has been replaced by Scott Parker. Can he guide his former club back to the Premier League?

    Then we focus on League One and a flying start for Huddersfield. Sim, Ben and David also chat about Sheffield Wednesday's aspirations under new boss Dave Challinor and whether Barnsley and Bromley can get themselves out of trouble.

    Finally, it's League Two. Is it too early to say Salford City and Barnet will be getting promoted at the end of the season? And what's going wrong at Colchester United as they sit near the bottom of the Football League.
