Welcome to the latest edition of the Real EFL Preview Show, hosted by Gary Hutchinson and Kyle Kennealey.
On today’s bumper show, our EFL experts pick up the latest waves of managerial changes. Ryan Lowe is in at Wigan, an appointment that could give the Latics a huge boost as they aim for the Championship. Darrell Clarke is out at Barnsley, how will that affect the Tykes this season, and next?
There’s also a change at MK Dons, seemingly safe from the trapdoor in League Two, while the roundup of the weekend’s fixtures starts with Huddersfield Town and Crawley Town, bringing our managerial changes to four with Michael Duff departing West Yorkshire.
This week, the boys are covering the following matches:
Coventry City vs Sunderland
Frank Lampard has had an incredible impact on Coventry in 2025, raising the question of whether they can first secure a spot in the Play-Offs and then go on to win them. Meanwhile, for Sunderland, was Tuesday evening a missed opportunity to capitalize on their promotion rivals dropping points? With that setback, have their automatic promotion chances slipped away?
Huddersfield Town vs Crawley Town
Huddersfield have gone from automatic promotion hopefuls to a side now sitting outside the top six, a decline that ultimately cost Michael Duff his job. The challenge now is how they can turn things around and get their season back on track. Meanwhile, all the teams in the bottom four have shown a resurgence in form, but with Crawley sitting nine points adrift of safety, is their survival fight already over?
Carlisle United vs AFC Wimbledon
Carlisle have shown an improvement in results, but their momentum took a hit with late heartbreak last weekend. How realistic are their chances of survival as the season reaches its climax? Meanwhile, Wimbledon’s form has stuttered recently, yet they remain in contention for a top-three finish. With ten games to go, can they break out of this mini-slump and secure automatic promotion?
