BBC Sport · 3 hours ago

Former striker Aaron McLean shares his takeaways from Saturday's EFL fixtures, highlighting struggling sides in League One and the Championship. Leicester City manager Russell Martin faces mounting scrutiny after a heavy 4-0 defeat by Oxford United left the Foxes 17th in League One, while bottom-of-the-table Burnley suffered a late collapse against Bristol City as they continue to adjust to life after Premier League relegation under new boss Nicky Hayen.

Elsewhere, McLean praised Stoke City's turnaround under Mark Robins, whose side beat high-flying Charlton 4-0 to make it back-to-back wins after a poor start to the season, with summer signing Ethan Galbraith singled out for praise. Millwall also impressed, thrashing Bolton 4-0 despite two late red cards, continuing their unpredictable pattern of wins and defeats under Alex Neil, with McLean tipping them for a strong season.
