Yorkshire Team of the Week: Leeds United take pride of place as Sheffield United and Barnsley also represented
Seven clubs are represented in our latest Yorkshire Post Team of the Week, with Leeds United taking pride of place with three player nominations after their 2-0 win at Yorkshire rivals Sheffield Wednesday.
Here’s the latest line-up and who gets the manager’s vote?
Goalkeeper
Lee Nicholls (Huddersfield Town)
A third clean sheet in four League One matches this term and made an excellent first-half to deny John Marquis. Safe as houses.
Defence
Barry Cotter (Barnsley)
The Reds’ best performer on a mixed bag of an afternoon against Northampton.
Joe Rodon (Leeds United)
After an early season drop-off, the Welshman was back to his commanding best at Hillsborough.
Anthony O’Connor (Harrogate Town)
Led the way at the back with a resolute display to help Harrogate secure an impressive win in north Essex.
Brandon Fleming (Doncaster Rovers)
The Hull City loanee produced a fine performance to help Rovers bag three points against Morecambe.
Midfield
Mickel Miller (Huddersfield Town)
Produced some excellent crosses in the first half and then showed his team ethic in the second to help Town make it three from three at the start of the 2024-25 league campaign.
Ollie Arblaster (Sheffield United)
Another classy contribution from the prodigiously-talented young Blades captain, crowned by a goal at Carrow Road.
Richie Smallwood (Bradford City)
Coolly-taken penalty and produced an captain’s innings for the Bantams against newboys Bromley.
Brenden Aaronson (Leeds United)
His redemption continued with a well-taken goal at Sheffield Wednesday.
Forwards
Willy Gnonto (Leeds United)
Posed the Owls no end of problems from a deep-lying role. Fine contribution for Leeds’ opener.
Andy Cook (Bradford City)
Led the line well and found the net. Typical Cook.
Manager/head coach: Daniel Farke (Leeds United)
