FootballTalk - Episode 231: Leeds edge towards safety, Millers drop while Terriers still have hope

YP football writers Stuart Rayner and Leon Wobschall join FootballTalk host Mark Singleton to cast an eye over the latest events in and around the Yorkshire football scene. They start off at Old Trafford where, on Monday night, Leeds United took a huge step to securing their Premier League status for a second season after beating Manchester United 2-1 – the win moving them six points clear of the bottom three with six games remaining. They then turn their attention to the Yorkshire derby between Barnsley and Rotherham United, which saw the Tykes claim all three points in their 3-1 victory and condemn their visitors to a seventh game without a win. The Millers then followed this result with a 3-0 defeat when they visited Wigan Athletic and in doing so, they sealed their relegation in the process. What next for both clubs? Another all-Yorkshire clash brought together Sheffield United and Hull City, the Blades coming away with all three points to leave the Tigers looking over their shoulders in the race to secure a play-off spot. Huddersfield Town who played out a 1-1 draw when they hosted Cardiff City and while they still have a chance to get into the League One play-offs, they need to start finding ways to close the gap sooner rather than later. Finally for this week, Stuart picks out his Yorkshire-based Player of the Week, while Leon selects the best Yorkshire Team of the Week.
