Keith Andrews joins Jonathan Oakes to look back on all the weekend's action after big wins for Leeds and Brentford, and a return to winning ways for Mark Bowen's Reading. We also have Charlton legend Chris Powell chatting about the club's takeover after owner Roland Duchatelet finally decided to agree to sell.

The podcast then sits down with Nathan Jones to discuss his difficult tenure at Stoke, which ended with his sacking last month, and whether the Potters can stay up under Michael O'Neill.

Andrews and Oakes then assess Sunderland's struggles under Phil Parkinson in League One, and Carlisle's appointment of new head coach Chris Beech.

To round things off, we reveal the WhoScored.com performers of the week from the Championship, and Sheffield Wednesday striker Steven Fletcher takes 'Ten To Tackle'.
