Yorkshire's Team of the Week

Some will surely say that is not too bad a thing..

But first a spot of reflection upon the weekend action and namely the pressing issue of how made it into our Yorkshire Post team of the weekend.

It a weekend in which Leeds United and Hull City came back from other side of the Pennines with no just Roses honour intact, but a place in round five of the FA Cup.

A grand day also for York City, with a precious three points accrued and Barnsley’s bandwagon keeps powering on as they warmed up their seminal JPT second leg at Fleetwood with another victory.

Here’s our team of the weekend.

1: Adam Davies (Barnsley). Deserves his place after successive shut-outs on the road. Among many who has suffered at stages this term, now enjoying the

positive flip-side.

2: Luke Hendrie (York City). The loan defender produced a strong and accomplished defensive showing to help repel Stevenage and enable the club to pick up a big three points.

3: Josh Tymon (Hull City). The history-making young gun, just 16, belied as tender years to produce a wholly encouraging display on his Tigers debut at Gigg Lane and did not look out of place. One to watch, clearly.

4: Dave Winfield (York City). Proving a real ‘Mr Consistency’ at the moment for York, no mean feat when you are part of a side who have seriously lost the winning habit. Thankfully a rare one arrived on Saturday, with Winfield manning up at the break again, making a key late goalline clearance to ensure three vital points were collected.

5: Kevin Long (Barnsley). Perhaps no coincidence that Barnsley have picked up following his arrival. The Burnley man - whose loan spell was extended on deadline day until February 19 - turned in another strong showing at Swindon to help the Reds make it back-to-back clean sheets on the road as they start to remedy some poor seasonal defensive statistics.

6: Toumani Diagouraga (Leeds United). As full debuts go, this wasn’t half bad with his engine-room partnership with Liam Bridcutt in a 4-2-3-1 system looking a winner, even if it is early days. The rarest of beats too for the former Brentford man in the shape of a goal - incredibly his first in not too far shy of three years since March 2013.

7: Danny Galbraith (York City). Proved the match-winner for the Minstermen and followed up another key contribution to help the club net a draw at Carlisle on the previous weekend.

8: Lewis Cook (Leeds United). Produced a performance which showed class with a capital C against Bolton, with his poise and movement and quality something to behold. Thankfully, it did not yield a big deadline-day bid to prize him away from Elland Road, even if those watching Premier League scouts at the Macron - of which there were many - could not have failed to impressed by his display.

9: Chuba Akpom (Hull City). Got back in Steve Bruce’s good books and gave him a timely nudge with a match-winning hat-trick against Bury - all this after ‘spitting his dummy out’, as Steve Bruce put it, during the game with Reading in mid-December. Has the quality on his day.

10: Sam Winnall (Barnsley). A funny few days for the striker, subject of a failed bid from Leeds on the Friday - and having to cope with all that - before returning to the day job and continuing his remarkable recent goalscoring streak by netting his ninth goal in his past seven outings. Running hot is the phrase.

11: Sone Aluko (Hull City). Not had the best of seasons, but proved a menace to Bury all over the park and earned a penalty as well. Reportedly the subject of a number of loan approaches on Monday, easy to see why Steve Bruce wanted to keep hold of him. A real threat on his day.

Manager: Jackie McNamara (York City). Not had many good days, but was afforded one at the timeliest of junctures at the weekend. Now needs more.
