    Hugh Woozencroft is joined by Reading FC's Co-CEO Joe Jacobson to reflect on all of the big stories from the opening weekend of the EFL Season! Joe gives insight into the Royals offseason business, how a League One club operates in the transfer window and reflects on the weekend's dramatic defeat to Luton Town. We analyse both West Ham and Wolves' draws and question whether supporters should really be concerned after one game?

We also look back at a disappointing defeat for Southampton, focus on Will Lankshear's goalscoring form and shine a light on the newly promoted sides in League Two with York City and Rochdale.
