EFL EXTRA: Lankshear shines and surprises galore

from The Game

The Football League is back and as unpredictable as ever. Gregor Robertson joins Tom Clarke to discuss the opening weekend in The Championship, League One and League Two after plenty of reminders of why these divisions are so hard to call. Will Lankshear scored twice to get promotion chasing Middlesbrough off to a winning star but West Ham, Burnley and Wolves all draw. There was controversy as West Brom surprise Norwich and Southampton endured a difficult weekend as they sold their best player and lost at Watford. Gregor has a new hero in a gold mask in League One and Tom apologises to Salford fans for jinxing their start in League Two. Tom also has a new charity pledge to try and appease the fans who want VAR in the football league...
