Aaron Paul and Jobi Mc Anuff are joined by Lyle Taylor to discuss the latest in the EFL on this episode of 72+ from BBC Radio 5 Live, first broadcast on 21 Oct 2026 and running for 48 minutes.

Sheffield United legend Billy Sharp joins the podcast following his retirement after a 22-year career. He tells the hosts what made him an EFL bagsman and how he knew it was time to hang up the boots.

The discussion then turns to Burnley, who haven't won at home in the league for an entire year. The panel examines how real the threat of back-to-back relegation is and what lies at the root of the club's problems.

The episode also covers a managerial sacking in League Two. Having been let go by Crawley Town, the hosts consider what comes next for Colin Kazim-Richards. Other topics include Derby County and Norwich City, with timestamps available for each segment, including Billy Sharp from 3'52 and Burnley from 20'25.
