      Unbeaten records dropping like flies and under pressure managers doing the business in this weekend's EFL Winners & Losers...

      »»Winners»»

      Peterborough: After a shaky start, Peterborough make it five wins in the bounce with the best form in the country after a 2-1 win away at Hull. Jonson Clarke-Harris and Siriki Dembele scored second half goals in the comeback win, and both look like serious propositions this season.

      Reading: Only three other teams in Championship history can match Reading’s 19 points after seven games, with Yakou Méïté bagging a brace in a comfortable 3-0 win over Rotherham today.

      Lincoln: Continuing to set the pace in League One, Lincoln win their toughest game yet, a 1-0 win over an in-form Ipswich thanks to a penalty from Jorge Grant who continues his excellent start to the season.

      Stoke: Results in the league had been OK, and results in the League Cup had been fantastic, but Stoke pick up maybe their win of the season so far, beating promotion favourites Brentford 3-2, hanging on after a 3-0 lead.

      Portsmouth: The pressure is still on Kenny Jackett, but a 2-1 win over a previously unbeaten Sunderland buys him even more time, with Pompey now into the top five in the third tier.

      Newport: With six wins from eight Newport head League Two following a 3-0 win over Bradford with Padraig Amond and Tristan Abrahams looking excellent once again.

      Huddersfield: Despite an eyebrow-raising end to 2019/20 things have started well for Huddersfield under Carlos Corberan, and they could have been brilliant after an early opener from Frazier Campbell, instead they succumbed to a 2-1 loss against a beatable Preston North End.

      Brentford: EFL fans have seen it plenty of times, a team that just misses out on promotion often struggles to start the following campaign, but many assumed things would be different for Brentford who staged a late comeback against Stoke, but still lost 3-2 today making it three wins, a draw and a defeat this season.

      Ipswich: The pick of the weekend in League One was Lincoln’s tie with Ipswich this weekend, with the latter coming out with a 1-0 defeat for back-to-back league losses this season. It could just be a stumble, but it’s far from ideal for Paul Lambert who’s already under more than enough pressure.

      Scunthorpe: Still above Southend at the bottom of England’s top 4 tiers, but a 3-1 loss to Exeter today makes it an ugly five losses on the bounce for Scunthorpe who could be in big trouble.
