FootballTalk - Episode 181: Sheffield United, Huddersfield Town, Doncaster Rovers and the race for EFL promotion

On this week’s show, The YP’s football writing team of Stuart Rayner and Leon Wobschall join host Mark Singleton to discuss the latest news from the Yorkshire football scene. 

They start with assessing the race for automatic promotion in the Championship, in particular Sheffield United’s credentials of securing a top-two finish, as they battle it out with Yorkshire rivals Leeds United and Burnley. 

Elsewhere, it is the automatic promotion aspirations of Doncaster Rovers that come under the spotlight in League Two, Grant McCann’s side letting a two-goal lead slip at the weekend against Swindon Town, although they still retained a place in the automatic promotion top three spots. 

They also discuss the sacking of Michael Duff by Huddersfield Town in the wake of their 1-0 defeat at Bristol Rovers, a result which saw them drop out of the play-off positions. Was owner Kevin Nagle right to make a chance in the dugout, or was he too hasty? 

Also, the writers choose their team and player of the week. 

Please note, this podcast was recorded BEFORE Barnsley sacked head coach Darrell Clarke and Leeds United’s 2-0 Championship win over Millwall on Wednesday night.
