FootballTalk - Episode 163: Leeds United well-set plus FA Cup review with Harrogate Town and Huddersfield Town

Football Talk - The Yorkshire Post

On this week’s show, YP football writers Stuart Rayner and Leon Wobschall cast an eye over the first round of the FA Cup and salute Harrogate Town for their victory over League One Wrexham, while also looking at the decision to abandon the option of replays, as Guiseley AFC found to their cost against Stevenage.

Leeds United proved dominant against Wayne Rooney’s Plymouth Argyle – later being edged out at Millwall – while it was also a mixed few days for Sheffield Wednesday at Hillsboroguh, walloped 6-2 by Watford in front of their own fans on Saturday before bouncing back with a superb 2-0 triumph over Norwich City three days later.

Huddersfield Town were another Yorkshire team to make the FA Cup headlines, but for all the wrong reasons when they crashed out at Tamworth on Friday night – although their owner Kevin Nagle, rarely slow to criticise his team’s performances in the past, came out in their defence and asked for fans to ease up in their criticisms of the team.
