On this week’s show, our panel of Stuart Rayner and Leon Wobschall discuss the change in the dugout at Sheffield United, with Chris Wilder returning to replace the axed Paul Heckingbottom, whose time at Bramall Lane, they say, should be remembered findly after getting the club back into the Premier League.

They also cast an eye in the direction of the Championship clash bettween Leeds United and Middlesbrough and what both managers can take from a game that saw Leeds emerge as 3-2 winners, keeping up the pressure on the top two, with Boro still hovering just outside the play-off places. 

There is also time to look at the battle to beat the drop, with managerless Rotherham United battling it out with Sheffield Wednesday and Huddersfield Town who, despite improved performances and results, can’t seem to pull themselves clear of trouble.

Lastly, the pair pick their respective player and team of the week.
