FootballTalk - Episode 229: Assessing the run-in for Yorkshire's clubs from Leeds United through Bradford City to Harrogate Town

On this week’s show, host Mark Singleton is joined by The YP’s football writers, Stuart Rayner and Leon Wobschall, to assess where each of Premier League and EFL clubs lie ahead of the last few weeks of the 2025-26 season. They start at Harrogate Town, Yorkshire’s sole League Two representative and who are almost starting into the abyss after a 2-0 defeat at home to Notts County combined with positive results elsewhere for their rivals left them bottom of the standings, four points from safety with just six games remaining.If the Sulphurites do survive York City will be hoping to join them back in the fourth tier, locked in a fierce battle with Rochdale for the one and only automatic promotion spot.The panel then take a look at the run-in from the Premier League down to League One, starting in the Premier League with Leeds United, who have eight games remaining to secure their top-flight status – currently sitting four points clear of the bottom three.In the Championship, there are four Yorkshire teams each fighting for their own different reasons with Middlesbrough hoping to claim automatic promotion, Hull City wanting to book their place in the play-offs, Sheffield United wanting to have a strong finish to the season and Sheffield Wednesday determined to show that they have some fight as they head into League 1.And, in League 1, there is plenty to keep us occupied with Bradford City still in the hunt for a play-off spot, with Huddersfield Town still hoping to join them in the post-season despite a recent drop off in form.Barnsley and Doncaster Rovers, meanwhile, simply want to head into the summer in a positive frame of mind following testing campaigns, while Rotherham United will be hoping Lee Clark can drag them to safety with just eight games left to overturn the nine-point gap that currently exists between themselves and the team immediately above the drop zone, Blackpool.
