Leeds United, Middlesbrough and Doncaster Rovers lead the way in The Yorkshire Post team of the week

NO LESS than eight teams are featured in our final Yorkshire Post Team of the Week before signing off for the World Cup in Qatar.

Leeds United, Middlesbrough and Doncaster Rovers are afforded two player inclusions apiece. But who gets the managers' vote on a weekend when six White Rose sides won? Here's our latest XI in a 4-3-3 formation.

Goalkeeper - Lee Nicholls (Huddersfield Town)

Just gets the nod ahead of Boro's Zack Steffen and Doncaster's Jonathan Mitchell. Some crucial saves against Swansea, including a late stunner to deny Michael Obafemi.

Running hot and in serious form - set up both of George Miller's goals at Grimsby.

George Baldock (Sheffield United)

Did his bit more than most to secure another away success and clean sheet for United at Cardiff. Scored a rare match-winning goal.

Mark McGuinness (Sheffield Wednesday)

Commanding at the back as Wednesday produced a solid proper away-day performance to win at Accrington and maintain the heat on Ipswich and Plymouth.

Ryan Giles (Middlesbrough)

The loanee posed no end of problems down the left for Norwich on a day to savour at Carrow Road for Boro.

The loanee combined threat with a prodigious work-rate as City had more away-day joy against Sutton. Scored a wonder goal to double the visitors' advantage.

Herbie Kane (Barnsley)

Governed the midfield against Shrewsbury with the sort of performance that Barnsley had in mind when they forked out seven figures to buy him. Dominant.

Hayden Hackney (Middlesbrough)

The Redcar lad is rapidly making a name for himself after bursting onto the scene. Produced a top-class performance in the middle of the park against Norwich.

Strikers - Crysencio Summerville (Leeds United)

No dramatic late goal this weekend, but the flying Dutchman still posed plenty of issues for Spurs. Found the net for the fourth week running.

George Miller (Doncaster Rovers)

Has his mojo back and scored two tidy goals at Grimsby to take his season's tally to 11.

Rodrigo (Leeds United)

Overlooked by Spain, but his importance to Leeds is clear. Found the net with a brace to move onto nine goals for the season, including five in his past four outings.

Manager/head coach - Michael Carrick (Middlesbrough)

Has quickly galvanised Boro and brought everyone together. Saturday was his biggest result to date.
