Essential EFL

Sim is joined by former EFL striker Sam Parkin and commentator David Stowell to take a look at how the League Two season has begun.
With four games gone there are no 100% records, but a host of teams will be pleased with the starts they have made including early league leaders Bristol Rovers.
On the other hand some sides have struggled to get going with concern growing at Port Vale and Gillingham, and a much-needed win at Salford.
