EFL Season Pressure Mounts Early for Several Teams

The early weeks of the EFL season have already seen rising tensions among fanbases, particularly for teams like Stoke City and West Ham, who have yet to secure a win.

Stoke City, now in their ninth consecutive season in the Championship, have started with losses against Swansea and Southampton, leaving fans anxious. Despite efforts to strengthen the squad with new signings, the team’s performance has not improved, and they face a challenging match against Wolves.

Meanwhile, Norwich City, who had a promising finish last season, have also struggled, losing their first two games. Relegated Burnley is in a similar predicament, having lost their opening matches under new management. In League Two, Salford City and Gillingham, both significant spenders, are yet to find their footing, with Gillingham facing a tough match against Northampton. Live coverage of the weekend's EFL matches will be available from BBC Sport.
