Wayne Rooney kicks off his Birmingham managerial tenure against Michael Carrick’s Middlesbrough in the Championship on Saturday, and we’ll have all the action and reaction from that game in the Football League Paper this Sunday.

Another newly-appointed manager in the same division, rookie boss Danny Rohl, discusses his Sheffield Wednesday revolution and Chris Dunlavy explains why Graham Alexander was onto a loser from the start at MK Dons in League Two.

For this week’s Player Profile, we put Blackpool’s League One sharp-shooter Jordan Rhodes under the microscope, while striker Tanto Olaofe talks about Stockport’s determination to use last season’s play-off final heartbreak as motivation to jump into the third tier this time around.

And elsewhere in League Two, midfielder Aaron Lewis enjoys his unbeaten beginning to life at Mansfield and Magpies boss Luke Williams on adapting to life back in the Football League.
