EFL Takeaways: Coventry's Comeback, Millwall's March, and West Brom's Woes (2026)

Get ready for an exciting journey through the world of football! We're diving into the latest EFL action, and trust me, it's a rollercoaster of emotions and surprises.

Coventry's Comeback and the Baggies' Battle

In the Championship, Coventry City has found its spark again! After a tough patch, they fought back from a goal down to defeat Leicester, ending a winless streak. Meanwhile, Millwall, the fourth-placed team, kept their title hopes alive by beating in-form Watford.

"Coventry's start to the season was incredible, but they hit a rough patch. Getting their first league win in four games is a massive boost for their confidence," says Aaron McLean, a former striker and now a pundit for Final Score.

But here's where it gets controversial...

Southampton, once full of momentum, has hit a rough patch. Their poor form continued with a home defeat to Hull City, stretching their winless run to seven matches. McLean believes they need to get back to basics and find their clean sheets to gain the confidence to play more expansively.

And this is the part most people miss...

New West Brom boss Eric Ramsay has a mountain to climb. Despite a valiant effort, his side lost 3-2 at home to Middlesbrough, conceding late goals yet again. With Norwich breathing down their necks, the Baggies need a spark, and fast.

In League One, Cardiff City maintains its lead at the top, while at the bottom, Doncaster finally claimed a much-needed win. McLean believes Cardiff has what it takes to keep Lincoln at bay and win the league.

Shrewsbury, in League Two, secured a vital win against Harrogate, moving them four points clear of the relegation zone.

"For Shrewsbury, it was a massive result. When you're down at the bottom, you have to beat the teams around you."

So, what do you think? Are Coventry back on track for a successful season? Can West Brom turn things around, or is it too late? Let's discuss in the comments and share our predictions for the upcoming matches!
