It's still a bit weird isn't it, with the World Cup entering the knock out phase, while we go out and buy Christmas trees, but returning to matters in hand, the EFL is back with a vengeance this weekend, so Mark Clemmit has invited in two esteemed gentlemen, to give us their thoughts on all of the above. After a very brief experience at Watford this summer, Rob Edwards is back with a fresh new challenge at Luton Town and one that he can't wait to get his teeth into, and the EFL legend that is Curtis Davies, has time for a quick natter with Clem about all the big stories this week, in his tea break at the training ground!

It’s a slightly peculiar season at the moment, with the break for the World Cup and the FA Cup second round last weekend, that saw no domestic EFL fixtures played at all. It therefore seemed like a perfect opportunity for Clem to invite in two of his favourite EFL managers, to find out what life is really like in the hotseat of English football management! Sheffield Wednesday’s Darren Moore and Tranmere Rovers’ Micky Mellon are this week’s star guests, and it’s an eye opening chat with a more than generous helping of laughs thrown in as well!

On this week's official EFL podcast, Mark Clemmit is joined by two men who know a thing or two about life at all levels within the English football pyramid! Lee Tomlin retired from football last week, following a career that took him from Rushden and Diamonds to playing under Eddie Howe in the premier league, a man who he describes as being one of the best coaches in the world! Elsewhere after an incredible career with Wycombe Wanderers, Matt Bloomfield has now stepped into management with Skybet League Two side Colchester United, and explains to Clem the very different responsibilities he now faces, as the man making the decisions.

On this week’s official EFL podcast, Mark Clemmit sits down for a chat with the much travelled talent that is Connor Wickham, who’s now playing his trade with Forest Green Rovers.

Nigel Clough brings us his brilliantly dry take on all the week’s big stories across the league, the EFL’s David Wetherall talks about the importance of youth development and player care to the future prosperity of the football pyramid, and Clem gets some top tips on eating well to perform like an elite athlete, from the foodie footballer Marc Pugh!

On this week’s feature length episode of the official EFL podcast, Mark Clemmit is having a week off to celebrate his significant birthday, and off the bench is supersub David Prutton. Joining Prutts this week is Swansea City boss Russell Martin to discuss his side’s superb form of late, and while that hasn’t gone unnoticed by the rest of the league, Russell is keen to keep his men slightly under the radar and isn’t getting carried away. It’s all about ‘Rainbow Laces’ at this time of year, and Prutts is joined by the EFL’s brilliant head of EDI David McArdle, to talk about the activity that’s happening at clubs up and down the country, and after more than a decade in Australia, the former Sunderland and Leeds United legend Michael Bridges is back and making his punditry debut on the official EFL podcast. He was pretty special as a player, and as a pundit he’s equally top class!

On this week’s official EFL podcast, Mark Clemmit is entertaining English football royalty in the form of QPR’s director of football, Sir Les Ferdinand!

On this week’s official EFL podcast, Mark Clemmit is joined by Birmingham City manager John Eustace, to discuss life at St Andrew’s and what’s possible for the blues this season. Elsewhere, Clem also sits down with the brilliant Joe Thompson, to talk about the incredible way that he’s coped with all that’s been thrown at him over the last few years, and in addition to his inspirational and motivational attitude to life, he’s also a bit of a punditry pro as well!

On this week’s official EFL podcast, Mark Clemmit is joined by Luton’s Henri Lansbury to talk mowing, planting, seeding and weeding as the hatters midfielder explains his love of gardening. It’s not all horticulture for Henri though, as there’s a bit of football chat sprinkled over the surface, and Clem is also joined by Leyton Orient manager Richie Wellens, to talk about his side’s impressive start to the season and to deliver some top notch punditry across all 3 divisions!
