Foxes pain and Burnley suffer hangover - Aaron McLean's EFL takeaways

Former Peterborough United and Hull City striker Aaron McLean offers his five takeaways from the weekend's action in the Championship, League One, and League Two. Leicester City's Russell Martin faces an uphill battle to turn the club around after a 4-0 defeat to Oxford United. McLean believes Martin needs time to change the environment and mindset of the players, given the club's decline over the past couple of seasons.

Stoke City's victory over Charlton Athletic marks a significant improvement for the team, who have lost their initial momentum. McLean praises the summer recruitment, particularly Ethan Galbraith, and predicts Stoke will continue to build on their recent form.

Millwall's unpredictable nature continues as they sit in the top four divisions. After a 4-0 win against Bolton, McLean expects the team to be in the mix for a better position by the end of the season. Burnley, bottom of the Championship, are struggling to find cohesion and confidence following their relegation last season. McLean suggests manager Nicky Hayen needs time to instill a winning mindset in the team and notes that Burnley has talented players that could help their cause.

Swindon Town, under manager Ian Holloway, have shown significant improvement in League Two, sitting second with three wins in their last four matches. McLean believes Aaron Drinan's impressive form, including a recent hat-trick, will help the team challenge for automatic promotion.
