BBC Final Score pundit Aaron McLean shares his five takeaways from weekend EFL action across the Championship, League One and League Two. On Wrexham, he notes their 2-1 win over Southampton ended the Saints' five-match unbeaten run and gave the club huge confidence, though he doubts they are automatic promotion candidates due to inconsistency. He urges Wrexham to be more clinical, citing their four draws from failing to kill games off, and suggests the owners may act in January to sign the missing piece.

Regarding QPR, McLean praises their 2-2 draw with Preston despite going down to 10 men, calling them outstanding and genuine play-off contenders, highlighting Glen Kamara's Premier League potential and Julien Stephan's impressive managerial impact after last season's 7-1 loss to Coventry. On Bradford City, he celebrates their 58-year wait-ending win over Luton Town that propelled them to top of League One, noting their joint-best defensive record in the EFL with just four goals conceded in seven games. McLean affirms Graham Alexander is at the right club, praising his management and the team's bouncebackability after early wins followed by setbacks.
