FootballTalk - Episode 227: Middlesbrough stumbling, Bradford City holding firm and Leeds United keep chipping away

On this week’s show, The YP’s football writing team of Stuart Rayner and Leon Wobschall join host Mark Singleton and start at the Riverside with promotion-chasing Middlesbrough - currently gunning for automatic promotion from the Championship. 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. And we assess what remains for Barnsley in their run-in and whether they have enough to make a late charge for the play-offs, or is it already too late?Finally this week, Leon picks out his Yorkshire Player of the Week while Stuart selects the White Rose’s Team of the week.
