We react to QPR's surprise sacking of former England boss Steve McClaren and debate if it was the right decision or not.

We look at the minute that could define the race for automatic promotion between Leeds United and Sheffield United and Derby County's statement hammering of Rotherham United.

As Gareth Southgate watched Aston Villa at the weekend we ask if he should select the likes of Jack Grealish and Tammy Abraham this summer.

We also analyse what's gone wrong at Middlesbrough and predict what Huddersfield Town can achieve next season following their relegation from the Premier League.
