Aaron Paul and Jobi McAnuff are joined by Bolton manager Steven Schumacher to unpack the EFL’s opening weekend — and we also hear from Luton boss Jack Wilshere.
Bolton celebrated their return to the Championship with a win, but can they keep up with the league’s big spenders? The panel also discuss Will Lankshear’s dream start at Middlesbrough, how Southampton handle being pantomime villains after Spygate, and whether the Championship needs VAR after a clear handball helped West Brom beat Norwich.
Jack Wilshere checks in after his Luton side came from 3-1 down to defeat Reading in their opener, and talks through his first pre-season as a first-team manager.
