Aaron McLean's five takeaways from Saturday in Championship, League One and League Two | OneFootball

According to BBC UK, former Peterborough United and Hull City striker, and Final Score pundit, Aaron McLean delivered five takeaways from Saturday across the Championship, League One and League Two.

Leicester were beaten 4-0 by Oxford United at the King Power Stadium, aiming to bounce straight back to the Championship after last season’s relegation. McLean thinks Russell Martin needs time to reset a club hit by decline and turnover, and feels he is the right man if afforded it.

Stoke thrashed Charlton 4-0 at the bet365 to climb into mid-table. McLean called it a statement, pointed to successive wins over Norwich and Charlton, praised recruitment, highlighted Ethan Galbraith, and hopes momentum follows.

Alex Neil’s Millwall crushed Bolton 4-0 at The Den, a match that also saw two late red cards. McLean sees an all-or-nothing team that seldom draw and expects them to be in the shake-up.

Burnley are bottom under new boss Nicky Hayen, less than six months after playing in the Premier League, and Bristol City scored twice late on at Turf Moor to deny a first win. McLean says they must find cohesion, believes an initial victory could lift belief, and stresses Hayen needs time.

Ian Holloway’s Swindon sit second behind Bristol Rovers after Aaron Drinan’s hat-trick sealed a 3-1 win over Colchester, the third victory in four. McLean is confident they will do well, recalls last season’s near-miss, and expects Drinan, a 22-goal league scorer last year, to possibly better that as they push for automatic promotion.
