Matt Slater from the Athletic kindly joined us to talk about the EFL and its clubs, and the current state of play with regard to the coronavirus. We touch on finishing the season vs voiding the season, financial concerns, the potential for clubs to go bust, the idea of regionalising one or two of the EFL divisions, and how tough it is to govern 71 clubs with different realities and priorities.

Our competitive juices flowed once more as we went head to head in a draft of Championship players, to see who could pick the strongest starting XI.

Here's a fun premise for a podcast - let's shine a light on the unsung heroes that play in the EFL. Which player at your club doesn't get the credit they deserve, but whose absence makes the team look lost? We picked a few of our favourites and presented your answers... including getting one of your suggestions on the phone, as David Wheeler of Wycombe came on to discuss being 'unsung' as an attacking player and sports psychology, which he is studying. We also spoke to The Athletic's South American expert Jack Lang on the career and character of Reading goalkeeper Rafael Cabral! This podcast is sponsored by The Athletic.
