League One Lowdown

Jamie and Tom are back for another review show after a weekend filled with interesting results.

Michael Duff secured his first win at Valley Parade, as Bradford City scored two second-half goals to beat Stevenage.

It was a first win for Tom Hounsell in permanent charge of Wycombe Wanderers, as they beat a toothless Notts County.

Russell Martin is safe for another week, as his Leicester City side deservedly beat Doncaster Rovers. Jamie gives his thoughts after watching the game from the away end at the King Power Stadium.

And, Leyton Orient heap the pressure on Ian Evatt with a rare home win over Blackpool, Huddersfield Town beat Plymouth Argyle in a “tentpole win”, and Milton Keynes Dons finally break their winless run.

Luton Town suffered their third defeat in four games, putting pressure on Jack Wilshere too.

There is also time for the six in six, reviewing the rest of the League One action. That included another win for Cambridge United and two red cards for Oxford United away at Mansfield Town.

Tom is joined by Jamie for another League One Lowdown Review Show, with plenty of goals, late drama and managerial pressure to discuss following the international break.

We start at the King Power Stadium, where Robbie Savage enjoys a dream league debut as Peterborough United manager with a stunning 3-1 victory over Leicester City. Tom was in the away end to witness Posh's transformation under Savage, while Russell Martin faces even more pressure as Leicester's struggles continue.

Elsewhere, Jack Wilshere's Luton Town put four past Wycombe Wanderers to spoil Tom Hounsell's first game as permanent manager, while Reading run riot at MK Dons, winning 5-1 despite the absence of Jack Marriott. Is Paul Warne running out of time with the division's only winless side?

Huddersfield Town throw away a two-goal lead as Sheffield Wednesday snatch a dramatic late point thanks to a controversial penalty, while Stockport County come from behind to beat Barnsley 3-1, with Kyle Wootton proving too much for the Tykes' defence.

Finally, Cambridge United continue their impressive start to the campaign with a 1-0 victory against ten-man Blackpool. Tom and Jamie debate George Honeyman's controversial early red card, whether Cambridge can sustain their excellent form, and the growing pressure on Ian Evatt at Blackpool.

There is also time for the Six in Six, covering Mansfield's victory over Bromley, Doncaster's second successive win against Burton, Stevenage beating Wigan, Michael Duff's goalless start at Bradford against Leyton Orient, Plymouth Argyle's dramatic late winner against AFC Wimbledon to go top of League One, and Oxford United's victory at Notts County.

There is another managerial change to talk about as Peterborough United relieve Luke Williams of his duties after defeat to previously winless Doncaster Rovers.

Posh fan Tom joins Jamie to review that, and the rest of the League One results. It includes a shock victory for Bromley against Huddersfield Town, Bradford City going top of the division with a win on the road at Luton Town, and Sheffield Wednesday’s second successive goalless draw. This time it came against Stockport County.

Russell Martin’s Leicester City let a one-goal lead slip against 10-man Barnsley, while Plymouth Argyle asserted their authority with a 4-2 win by the coast at Blackpool.

There is also time for the six in six to round-up the other results, ahead of the jarring three-week international break.

Welcome back to the League One Lowdown, where Sam takes the reins for a solo edition ahead of another action-packed EFL League One weekend! Kicking things off as the Game of the Week, high-flying Sheffield Wednesday host Stockport County at Hillsborough in a clash between two of the division's top-scoring sides. Wednesday average a home-high 2.8 goals per match, but they will face a stern test from a resilient Stockport team boasting strong away form, having scored seven goals across three away trips already this season.

Moving on to the Surprise of the Week, Sam examines whether Bromley can pull off an unexpected result against an unbeaten Huddersfield Town side. Despite Huddersfield’s impressive form, Bromley’s low block, physical style, and direct threats could frustrate the Terriers on a tight home pitch. The episode also highlights Three Things to Watch across the third tier.

First, a fierce rivalry unfolds as AFC Wimbledon host MK Dons, with MK Dons eager to turn their frequent draws into three points against a defensively stubborn Wimbledon side. Next, Luton Town travel to Bradford City in a fixture shrouded in headlines; Jack Wilshere looks to patch up a leaky Luton defense that has conceded 13 goals in six matches, while speculation swirls around whether Graham Alexander will remain at Bradford amidst rumors linking him to the open Preston North End job. Finally, Leyton Orient attempt to end an eight-game winless league home stretch against a set-piece dominant Stevenage side, making it a critical fixture for Richie Wellens to build momentum. The rest of the division offers fascinating narratives, including Burton Albion facing Mansfield Town, Barnsley hosting Leicester City, Blackpool taking on Plymouth Argyle, and Peterborough battling Doncaster Rovers.
