There are four Yorkshire clubs in the second tier and Middlesbrough are the outfit currently flying the highest. Kim Hellberg’s men sit second in the table, with only table-toppers Coventry City above them.
Middlesbrough completed a 4-0 rout of Southampton at the weekend, closing the gap on a Coventry side who were beaten 3-2 by Birmingham City.
Sadly for Sheffield Wednesday, their Championship days look numbered. The Owls are still rooted to the foot of the division and were swept aside by Queens Park Rangers in their most recent outing.
Over on the red side of the Steel City, however, there is reason for optimism. The Blades are starting to climb away from the relegation battle, although saw their meeting with Oxford United postponed yesterday (January 4).
Hull were also beaten by the weather but still hold a promising spot in the Championship, sitting just outside the play-offs in seventh.
Elsewhere, Blackburn Rovers drew 2-2 with Charlton Athletic and Wrexham picked up a 2-1 win at Derby County’s expense.
Millwall edged past Swansea City on home turf and Stoke City heaped misery on relegation-threatened Norwich City with a 2-0 win.
