"Autumn is here, the leaves are falling, the dark nights are closing in, and there's a distinct chill in the air, but fortunately the EFL is on hand to keep us warm and toasty. Middlesbrough continue to light the way at the top of the Championship and they head to a Southampton side whose start has been less than saintly, while Chris Wilder seeks a first Sheffield United victory on a former stomping ground, and Watford ponder Paulo Pezzolano's predicament."
"When appointed in May, Paulo Pezzolano became the 14th permanent Hornets boss in the past seven years. Unfortunately, his team are not helping his long-term employment prospects. On average, the Uruguayan's 13 predecessors have lasted eight months in the post, and one win from seven games in all competitions has got a few people expecting to see the words 'Club statement' above the seemingly obligatory photo of a corner flag each time they have checked the club website this week."
Autumn arrives and the EFL provides a busy weekend of fixtures across divisions. Middlesbrough lead the Championship and travel to Southampton, who have started poorly. Chris Wilder seeks his first Sheffield United win at a former stomping ground. Watford have appointed Paulo Pezzolano as their 14th permanent head coach in seven years and face pressure after one win from seven matches. Hull City have shown improvement under Sergej Jakirovic, beating Southampton and drawing at Swansea. Lincoln City are making an impression in League One, while Oldham Athletic and Barnet have settled back into League Two.
