LISTEN in to the only football podcast that covers the trials and tribulations of all 11 of Yorkshire’s Premier League and Football League clubs - Leeds United, Barnsley, Huddersfield Town, Hull City, Middlesbrough, Sheffield United, Doncaster Rovers, Rotherham United, Sheffield Wednesday, Bradford City and Harrogate Town.
This week our panel reflect on the FA Cup fortunes of the Yorkshire clubs competing in the third round of the FA Cup, as well as delving into the latest news and rumours doing the rounds in the January Transfer Window.
Host Mark Singleton and YP football writers Stuart Rayner and Leon Wobschall also look ahead to the weekend’s action.
On this week’s show, Stuart Rayner and Leon Wobschall join host Mark Singleston and start off by celebrating the promise shown by Barnsley in their 5-0 thrashing of Luton Town – a result which left them just three points outside of the play-off places. Bradford City had to settle for a point at in-form Bolton Wanderers, enough to move them up to second in the standings and give them confidence going into this weekend’s League One clash at home to Exeter City. Following a 2-1 defeat at home to Aston Villa, the panel discuss the growing pressure on Leeds United manager Daniel Farke after seeing his team drop into the bottom three. And the team assess the Steel City derby which ended in a 3-0 win for Sheffield United and what needs to happen next for both the Blades and the Owls going forward. Finally, hopes are high at Middlesbrough after their appointment of Kim Hellberg as Rob Edwards’ replacement at the Riverside – does he have what it takes to maintain Boro’s good start to the season? And this week sees Stuart choose the team of the week, with Leon singling out the player of the week.
On this week’s show, Yorkshire Post football writers Stuart Rayner and Leon Wobschall join host Mark Singleton to discuss the end of England’s near-perfect World Cup qualifying campaign and who is likely to be on the plane sat behind head coach Thomas Tuchel when the squad heads to North America next summer. Despite the international break, several Yorkshire teams were still in action, with the panel discussing the latest outings for League One rivals Doncaster Rovers and Rotherham United, as well as Harrogate Town in League Two. Also, we look forward to this weekend’s Steel City derby between Sheffield United and Sheffield Wednesday, plus Leon picks his Team of the Week, while Stuart selects the standout player.
On this week’s show, host Mark Singleton is joined by Yorkshire Post football writers Stuart Rayner and Leon Wobschall to discuss the latest issues surrounding the Yorkshire football scene. They start in the Premier League and Leeds United and how much cause for concern there should be for their survival following their 3-1 defeat at Nottingham Forest – their fourth loss in five games.The team also look at Doncaster Rovers and their contrasting week in terms of Yorkshire derby results – losing 2-1 at home to Barnsley in the league before rebounding with a 3-1 win over Bradford City in the EFL Trophy. Huddersfield Town produced a 3-1 win over Plymouth Argyle a result which didn’t just relieve some of the pressure on manager Lee Grant, but also left them just three points off the play-off places. Earlier this week, the sorry saga of Rob Edwards’ departure from Middlesbrough – after just four months at the helm – in order to return to his former club Wolves, left a sour taste in the mouth on Teesside – now it is a question of who will succeed him. Finally, this week, Stuart will pick out his Team of the Week, while Leon hones in on the standout player of the week.
On this week’s show, host Mark Singleton is joined by The YP's chief football writer Stuart Rayner and football reporter Tom Coates. They start by delving into how realistic a relegation battle may be for Sheffield United as they remain rooted in the Championship’s bottom three following back-to-back losses to Derby County and leaders Coventry City. They also cast an eye over any causes for concern there may be for Leeds United following their 3-0 defeat Brighton before looking at the first round of the FA Cup which produced only two Yorkshire winners in Barnsley and Doncaster Rovers. They consider who the forthcoming international break benefits the most out of Yorkshire’s 11 Premier League and EFL clubs before picking out a Team of the Week and Player of the Week.
On this week’s show we get to find out what English football’s new regulator David Kogan hopoes to achieve at crisi-torn Sheffield Wednesday, who continue to be held back by the ownership of Dejphon Chansiri.Rotherham United picked up just their third win of a so-far disappointing League One campaign but, even more crucially, it was an all-too-rare away triumph, goals from Joe Rafferty and Josh Benson giving them a much-needed 2-1 win at Northampton Town.Bradford City showed their ability to adapt given the number of chances they made for the midweek EFL Trophy win over Everton Under-21s - a further sign of how their depth has enabled them to enjoy such a positive start to their League One campaign.And we also look ahead to a crucial period of the Premier League season for Leeds United - this weekend’s trip to Burnley being the first of a five-game run which Daniel Farke and his players will have earmarked for taking something from every game - with West Ham, Nottingham Forest, Brighton and Aston Villa to follow.Finally, we cast an eye over England’s World Cup qualifying campaign, Thomas Tuchel’s team becoming the first European team to seal their spot in North America next summer after their victory in Latvia earlier this week.
On this week’s show, the latest international break seems the ideal time to assess the story so far for Leeds United on their return to the Premier League and whether dropped points in three of their last four games will come back to haunt them at the business end of the seasonIt was another week for important Yorkshire derbies with Hull City getting the better of Sheffield United to pile on the Blades’ Championship misery, while there were signs of encouragement for Rotherham United following their 2-2 draw at home to Bradford City. They may have seen their two-goal lead disappear against the Bantams, but the Millers bounced back by recovering from 2-0 down to beat Oldham Athletic in the EFL Trophy in midweek.We also take a closer look at our sole representative in League Two Harrogate Town, who had the TV cameras down at the Exercise Stadium on Monday night for the visit of Crewe Alexandra. It may have resulted in a 2-1 loss, but could this be the season that sees the Sulphurites build on their promise by putting together the kind of consistent form needed to make themselves a genuine play-off contender. This week, Leon singles out his Team of the Week, while Stuart runs the rule over several candidates for our Yorkshire-based Player of the Week.
On this week’s show we consider another valuable point towards survival gained by Leeds United but was it another opportunity missed having conceded so late at home to Bournemouth.In the Championship, Sheffield United enjoyed a brief glimmer of hope with a narrow victory at Chris Wilder’s former club OXford United, only to be brought crashing back down to earth with a 2-1 defeat to Southampton at Bramall lane on Tuesday night.The off-field issues which have dogged Sheffield Wednesday all summer continue, with the latest stories suggesting Owls players are considering refusing to train afternot being paid once again by owner Dejphon Chansiri.Hull City once again showed their Jekyll and Hyde trait when coming from 2-0 down at home to Preston North End to secure a valuable point.In League One, Bradford City - who head to second-bottom Rotherham United on Thursday night - continue to set the pace, their cause aided by a shock 1-0 defeat for Cardiff against struggling Burton Albion on Tuesday, but is there cause for concern at two of the Bantams’ Yorkshire rivals.Doncaster Rovers are in the midst of a mini-slump having suffered three straight league defeats, while Barnsley are in a similar position, losing twice on the trot and dropping out of the play-off spots along with Grant McCann’s team.
On this week’s show, the YP’s football writing team of Stuart Rayner and Leon Wobschall join host Phil Harrison to salute the gallant efforts of our League One clubs as they took on Premier League opposition in the third round of the League Cup.Barnsley, Huddersfield Town, Doncaster Rovers and Bradford City all had giant-killing opportunities but, ultimately, it proved beyond them, despite some impressive performances. It is in League One where Yorkshire continues to thrive, though, Bradford City going top of the table after beating leaders Cardiff City, while Barnsley, Huddersfield Town and Doncaster Rovers remain close behind. At the other end of the table, we ask whether there is cause for concern at the New York Stadium after Rotherham United’s 1-0 defeat at home to Stockport saw the Millers drop into the bottom three.We salutes Leeds United’s first away win of their Premier League season and their first goals from open play since their return to the top-flight.In the Championship Middlesbrough moved four points, while Hull City – at home to Southampton – and Sheffield Wednesday – on the road at Portsmouth – recorded impressive wins.

In this week’s show, we look at the loss of Yorkshire’s last remaining unbeaten record in League One after Bradford City went down 3-1 at Yorkshire rivals Doncaster Rovers. We reflect on a good news/bad news week for Rotherham United who ended their wait for a second win of the season only to then be hit by some cruelly-timed news on the injury front. Thomas Tuchel’s England team took another big stride towards qualifying for USA 2026 with regulation wins over Andorra and Serbia - but how difficult is it to judge the progress and quality of his team against such cannon fodder in qualifying?We also discuss the arrival of new York City manager Stuart Maynard and his ambitions for the National League club
