Leeds United enter the final weekend of the 2022-23 Premier League season in desperate circumstances, needing a win at home to Tottenham Hotspur while hoping results involving Leicester City and Everton go their way.

Just under 24 hours later – once we’ve discovered Leeds’ fate – Yorkshire’s attention switches south to Wembley where Sheffield Wednesday – fresh from the most remarkable of play-off comebacks against Peterborough United – face-off against south Yorkshire rivals Barnsley in the League One final.

Leon Wobschall and Stuart Rayner join host Mark Singleton to discuss all of the above, as well as the positives to be taken for Middlesbrough and Bradford City – two Yorkshire clubs to fall at the semi-final hurdle in their respective play-off campaigns – and the magnificent FA Trophy triumph of FC Halifax Town.

Stuart Rayner and Leon Wobschall discuss the Whites’ hopes under Sam Allardyce as well as the chances of Middlesbrough, Sheffield Wednesday, Barnsley and Bradford City progressing through to their respective play-off finals at Wembley.

Elsewhere, the YP football writing team discuss the return of Grant McCann as head coach at Doncaster Rovers and its likely impact on the club’s hopes of earning promotion back to League One.

YP football writers Stuart Rayner and Leon Wobschall join host Mark Singleton to discuss the latest issues on the Yorkshire football scene.

This week, they start off with assessing Leeds United’s Premier League survival chances, after defeat to Manchester City and results elsewhere left them second-from-bottom with three games remaining ahead of Saturday’s lunchtime kick-off against Newcastle United.

The play-offs loom large this week with our panel assessing the hopes of Middlesbrough, Sheffield Wednesday, Barnsley and Bradford City who all enter this weekend with plenty of optimism. 

And with Grant McCann being confirmed as the successor to Danny Schofield at Doncaster Rovers – returning for a second spell with the League Two club – our team look at what needs to happen next to stop the club’s worrying slide.

In the latest of a number of tumultuous weeks this season for Leeds United, there were two casualties and one fresh face as the club’s owners cast one last throw of the dice in a bid to save their Premier League status. 

Sam Allardyce has been parachuted in and given four games to ensure Leeds’ survival, with director of football Victor Orta and ineffective interim boss Javi Gracia heading out the exit door the other way.

Meanwhile, in the Championship, Stuart Rayner and Leon Wobschall salute the impressive job done by Matt Taylor in helping Rotherham United end the yo-yo effect of moving between the second and third tier this past few years, while they applaud the job done by Neil Warnock at Huddersfield Town, who now need just one point from their final two games to ensure safety.

Our panel also look ahead to Middlesbrough’s hopes of joining Sheffield United in the Premier League next year as they prepare for the play-offs.

As Sheffield United clinch promotion back to the Premier League, The YP’s football writers Stuart Rayner and Leon Wobschall join FootballTalk host Mark Singleton to discuss the Blades’ achievement and whether Leeds United will still be in the top-flight to greet them in August.

They also cast an eye over the promotion prospects of Sheffield Wednesday, Barnsley and Bradford City, as well as saluting Harrogate Town securing their league Two status for another season.

On this week's show, can Leeds United bounce back from two heavy defeats, will Sheffield United's FA Cup WEmbley distraction derail their promotion chances or are they virtually assured of a top-two finish?

Elsewhere, they weigh up Middlesbrough's play-off chances, discuss what next for Hull City and whether both Rotherham United AND Huddersfield Town can beat the drop into League One.

On this week’s show, Stuart Rayner and Leon Wobschall join host Mark Singleton to discuss the latest news and developments in Yorkshire’s 2022-23 season. 

They start by looking at Leeds United enhancing their survival with their 2-1 home win over fellow strugglers Nottingham Forest on Tuesday night, just days after being beaten 4-1 at Premier League leaders Arsenal.

In the Championship, Sheffield United put some daylight between themselves and third-placed Middlesbrough in the race for second while, down the bottom, Rotherham United and Huddersfield Town received a timely boost in the shape of fellow strugglers Reading being docked six points for financial reasons. Elsewhere, is Hull City boss Liam Rosenior now looking firmly ahead to next season with the Tigers involved in neither the promotion race or the battle to beat the drop?

On this week’s show, The Yorkshire Post’s football writers Stuart Rayner and Leon Wobschall join host Mark Singleton to reflect on England’s promising start to their Euro 2024 qualifying campaign.

They also look at how Leeds United will be affected by injuries to key players during the international break before turning their attention to the proposed takeover of Huddersfield Town by US businessman Kevin M.Nagle.

The team also look at the race for automatic promotion involving Sheffield Wednesday and Barnsley in League One, before casting an eye over whether Bradford City can achieve something similar in League Two. They discuss what needs to happen next for Doncaster Rovers to get themselves out of League Two as well as Harrogate Town’s chances of survival.

In the latest episode of our Yorkshire Post FootballTalk podcast, Stuart Rayner and Leon Wobschall discuss whether Leeds United edging towards Premier League safety, the battle between Sheffield United and Middlesbrough for Championship runners-up spot and whether Rotherham United are in freefall.

They also discuss how realistic a chance Neil Warnock has of pulling off a 'great escape' with Huddersfield Town and whether Sheffield Wednesday AND Barnsley can both finish in the top two in League One.
