EFL Unfiltered with David Prutton

It's that time of the year where we like to bring you a little compilation of the most memorable interviews that Mark Clemmit has done this season, so following our best of the guests part 1 which we gave you at Christmas, we hope you enjoy this part 2 episode as a little summer treat!

Now that everything has been concluded in all 3 divisions of the EFL, it's time for Mark Clemmit and David Prutton, to sit down and have a full and detailed review of the season that was 2021-2022!

With the playoff finals for the Skybet Championship and League Two being held at Wembley this weekend, Mark Clemmit is joined by the brilliant Owen Coyle for some punditry perfection, as he gives his thoughts on Mansfield Town v Port Vale and Huddersfield Town v Nottingham Forest, to assess who he thinks have got the best chance of going up into the division above. Whatever the results, it promises to be two glorious days out at the national stadium.

With Saturday’s Wembley final between Sunderland and Wycombe Wanderers only days away, Mark Clemmit is joined by Portsmouth’s Danny Cowley to preview the tie and provide some expert punditry on all the week’s other big issues. Elsewhere, Stockport County manager Dave Challinor has begun the journey to bring the club back to where it belongs. Next year they tackle league two, hoping to use their momentum to go straight through it at the first attempt.

Coventry City boss Mark Robins has been there and done it in the game, and there are few who know more about the inner workings of the football business than him. He sits down with Mark Clemmit to talk about the season they’ve just had personally, but also offers his thoughts on the Championship playoffs pack as things start to hot up. No playoffs required for Forest Green Rovers’ striker Jamille Matt, as they’ve booked their place in Skybet League One next season in style. There’s been one or two parties for the Gloucestershire club, and now Jamma is looking forward to putting his feet up for a bit of well earned rest! The interview with Jamille Matt was recorded before the announcement of the departure of manager Rob Edwards.

Wigan boss Leam Richardson has done an outstanding job with the Latics, and joins Mark Clemmit to talk about the extraordinary season that has seen his side top Skybet League One as their season comes to a close. Meanwhile 43 goals and counting, has seen Fulham's Aleksandar Mitrovic smash the 42 goal record held by Guy Whittingham for nearly 3 decades! Guy talks to Clem about the Serbian's phenomenal goal haul, and how with mixed emotions he sees his place in the record books finally taken.

Reading's interim manager Paul Ince came in with the job of securing the Royals championship status for next season, and with games to spare he's done just that. Incy catches up with Clem about his plans for the future, and also shares the secrets of his great looking hair. Elsewhere, Jobi McAnuff was honoured at last Sunday's annual EFL Awards in London, with the prestigious Sir Tom Finney Award for his outstanding contribution to the game during a glittering 20 plus year career. Naturally, Clem wants to find out more about Jobi's early life in Football, and also get him to do some punditry on all 3 divisions while he's got him in the studio!

David Prutton is in the Clem for another week, as he looks back on a busy weekend of fixtures across the EFL and the effect it’s had on the top and bottom of the tables. Joining him are Millwall manager Gary Rowett, whose side’s impressive run of form in the second half of the season, currently sees them sit seventh in the Skybet Championship, only one point off the playoff places, and former Sunderland manager Lee Johnson provides Prutts with a post-Easter punditry mop-up across all three divisions.

With Mark Clemmit enjoying a well earned break for a fortnight, David Prutton comes straight off the bench to deputise, and he's brought some star guests with him this week! He kicks off with Middlesbrough's Chris Wilder who gives a frank and honest assessment of his side and the situation they find themselves in, as they continue their push for the playoffs after a couple of disappointing results. Skybet League One player of the season for March Barry Bannan, discusses life at Hillsborough and how there's still plenty of life left in those 32 year old legs of his, and acting head coach of Port Vale Andy Crosby, reflects on his side's superb run of form of late, that might just see them a bag an automatic promotion place out of Skybet League Two!

It’s a busy one this week as Mark Clemmit welcomes Luton Town striker Harry Cornick into his virtual studio, to ask whether he thinks they really can keep pushing towards a dream return to the top flight from non league in just 8 seasons! Clem also catches up with Sunderland boss Alex Neil on the challenge ahead at the stadium of light after an impressive upturn in form of late, and CEO of The EFL Trust Mike Evans, describes some of the amazing projects happening right now during this year’s EFL Week of Action.
