On this week’s show, The YP’s Stuart Rayner and Leon Wobschall join host Mark Singleton to sift through the latest action on and off the pitch involving Yorkshire’s leading clubs.
They start in the Premier League and Leeds United’s 1-1 draw at Everton on Monday night which, while keeping them clear of the bottom three, could have been more having taken the lead at the Hill Dickinson Stadium.
Next up is the Yorkshire derby between Huddersfield Town and Bradford City – the derby at the ACCU Stadium marking the first game in charge for new boss Liam Manning, brought in by owner Kevin Nagle to replace Lee Grant.
Huddersfield backed up the 1-0 win over the Bantams with another one-goal victory – also on home turf – against another promotion rival in Luton Town. Bradford, by contrast, suffered a third straight defeat – the first time in almost two years – when they went down 3-0 at Lincoln City.
Middlesbrough have put a recent poor run behind them by posting four straight wins, helping them ramp up the pressure on Championship leaders, Coventry City, fuelling hope of a top-two finish, while Hull City have also hit form to solidify a play-off spot – but could it be more?
And does Sheffield United’s return to winning ways – with a 3-1 victory at home over Ipswich Town – mean they still have a chance of becoming a play-off contender despite such a dreadful start to the season.
Finally, Stuart picks out his top-performing Yorkshire Team of the Week, while Leon selects his standout player from the last few days.
