It’s been a big week for Matt Taylor, and the new Rotherham manager features on Sunday, talking about a whirlwind start to his reign.

Unlike Taylor, Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink did not leave his League One club for any other, and the former Chelsea striker explains what would tempt him to return to an EFL dugout.

Luton’s Carlton Morris, Plymouth’s Morgan Whittaker and Bradford’s Andy Cook scoop Player of the Month prizes, and we look at each of their stellar Septembers.

Gillingham winger Alex MacDonald talks about getting back to his best after injury agony, and Striker Mikael Ndjoli reflects on the impact of new boss Keith Curle at Hartlepool.

Our resident expert Chris Dunlavy discusses the latest managerial turmoil at Middlesbrough, while guest columnist Guy Branston looks at how talisman Chris Willock is developing his game at QPR.

Last, but certainly not least Norwich v Preston and Blackpool v Watford are our Championship Star Games, with Plymouth v Accrington and Northampton v Salford for Leagues One and Two respectively.
