EFL Insights: West Ham Dominates Championship, Swansea Shines
As the EFL season progresses, Sam Parkin shares his observations from the Championship, League One, and League Two. West Ham has surged to the top of the Championship after winning their last four matches, including a decisive 6-0 victory over Wrexham.
West Ham has scored 20 goals in seven games, showcasing the effectiveness of their attacking players. Despite early defensive struggles, the team has found its rhythm, with key players like Jarrod Bowen emphasizing the importance of the transfer window closure for team stability.
Swansea City remains a strong contender, sitting second in the Championship after a 3-1 win against Burnley. Their success is attributed to the scoring contributions from forwards Zan Vipotnik and Adam Idah, along with a solid defensive record that includes four clean sheets this season. Meanwhile, Leicester City secured a crucial win against Stockport County, providing a much-needed boost after a previous heavy loss.
In League Two, Barnet leads the table under Dean Brennan, remaining unbeaten in their first six matches, while Walsall, managed by Lee Grant, is also showing promise with a solid defensive record and a new style of play.
