EFL five things: Early days but the pressure is on
BBC Sport picks out five highlights to keep an eye on in Saturday's busy EFL programme.
Pressure is mounting on Stoke City manager Mark Robins and West Ham's Nuno Espirito Santo as their respective teams have suffered defeats in their opening matches of the new EFL season. This early struggling is not uncommon, as seen with Norwich City and Burnley, who also had slow starts. In League One, Plymouth Argyle, despite a better season under new manager Tom Cleverley, still faces a challenging time in the hopes of securing a play-off spot.
Meanwhile, Salford City and Gillingham, big spenders in League Two, have yet to make a significant impact in their fourth-tier campaigns.
