Sky Bet Championship Podcast: Paul Lambert, handballs and time wasting


We are back with our latest Sky Bet Championship Podcast, as ex pro Noel Whelan, our EFL expert Tom Carnduff and host Gareth Jones tackle all the major news and talking points from the second tier.

The lads debate whether Ipswich's sacking of Paul Hurst was right and if Paul Lambert is the right man to steer the club off the foot of the table.

Leeds United's controversial equaliser against Nottingham Forest, as Kemar Roofe handled the ball into the net, creates argument as we ask if it was cheating or good gamesmanship.

We praise an upturn in form for QPR and Birmingham City and analyse the differing style of play for Derby and Middlesbrough.

Noel also gets on his soapbox about his big frustration of time wasting.

Also listen to find out how to WIN a SIGNED Derby County shirt - it is simple to enter, so do get involved!
