FootballTalk - Episode 219: Leeds United's Premier League lift and League One optimism

On this week’s show, host Mark Singleton is joined by YP football writer Leon Wobschall to cast an eye over the latest action on and off the pitch involving Yorkshire’s Premier League and EFL clubs. They start off by analysing Leeds United’s 1-0 win over Fulham and its impact on their survival chances in the top-flight – the victory stretching their unbeaten run at home to five games. Then they turn their attention to League One, starting with Barnsley, whose three points from a 2-1 win over Blackpool could be the moment they kickstart their push for the play-off places. Doncaster Rovers claimed three points in a 1-0 win against AFC Wimbledon – ending a slide of six games without a point – in what is hoped will be an overdue turning point in their season as they look to pull clear of the relegation zone. Huddersfield Town owner Kevin Nagle pulled the trigger on manager Lee Grant following an away defeat at Burton Albion, with the Terriers bringing in former Norwich City and Bristol City boss Liam Manning in to replace him in the hope he can ensure the club are in the promotion picture come the end of the season. That aim starts with this weekend's derby clash against Bradford City, themselves pushing for automatic promotion, but who will be looking to bounce back from last week’s 2-1 defeat at home to leaders Cardiff City. Lastly, Leon doubles up this time around to pick both the Yorkshire Team of the Week and the standout Player of the Week – see if you agree.
