About this episode

The episode discusses the recent performances of various Yorkshire football teams, including Middlesbrough, Bradford City, Leeds United, Huddersfield Town, and Barnsley, while also highlighting individual player achievements.

This week saw them fall to a 1-0 defeat against Charlton Athletic before behind held to a 1-1 draw by Bristol City, a result which leaves them in the top two ahead of this weekend but with a number of rivals breathing hard down their neck. Bradford City had a similar week, a weekend loss followed by a 1-1 draw in midweek at home to Mansfield town – do the Bantams have what it takes to stay the course and be among the League One play-off contenders? Leeds United secured a vital point in a 0-0 draw at Crystal Palace, but they remain just three points above the bottom three. Can they keep enough teams below them come the end of the season? Huddersfield Town remain in the play-off picture following a 2-2 draw with leaders Lincoln City and will be hoping they can collect enough points from their remaining games to secure a top-six finish.
