Parkin's EFL takeaways: Huddersfield soaring, Derby stuck

Sam Parkin conhece a escada da EFL por dentro. O comentarista do Final Score passou a carreira de jogador no ataque de Swindon, Luton e Northampton, e aqui está sua leitura do fim de semana na Championship, na League One e na League Two.

O Huddersfield Town lidera a League One e não perde desde que o Bromley o venceu em 19 de setembro. O time de Martin Drury venceu quatro dos últimos cinco jogos, o mais recente por 2 a 1 sobre o Wigan Athletic, em que Derensili Sanches Fernandes marcou de novo.

"Fiquei muito impressionado. Voltando à temporada passada, todos tinham muita expectativa sobre eles e isso não se concretizou", disse Parkin. "Sanches Fernandes tem sido uma revelação, neste momento parece bom demais para o nível."

Questionado se o ponta é o melhor jogador da divisão, não hesitou. "Acho que sim — ele parece um degrau acima."

O Cheltenham Town subiu ao terceiro lugar ao bater o Newport County, que vivia boa fase, por 1 a 0, com gol de Charlie McCann. O segundo mandato de Steve Cotterill reanimou um clube que estava à deriva quando ele voltou, e Parkin considerou que o impacto merecia o crédito.

"McCann é uma das histórias da temporada se você olhar só o registro de gols dele", afirmou.

Do outro lado, o Derby County é o 23º na Championship depois do empate em 1 a 1 com o Sheffield United e não vence um jogo de liga desde 1º de setembro.

"Vão ficar amargamente decepcionados por sair apenas com um ponto", disse Parkin, elogiando o goleiro Jacob Widell Zetterstrom pelas defesas que preservaram o resultado em Bramall Lane. "Tenho confiança de que o John Eustace pode virar isso."

O Norwich City encerrou uma série de cinco derrotas ao vencer o Charlton Athletic fora de casa, aliviando a pressão sobre Philippe Clement, enquanto o QPR atropelou o Swansea City por 5 a 0, com um hat-trick de 15 minutos de Richard Kone, seus primeiros gols desde abril.
