Leeds United drew with Brentford in the Championship on Saturday while Yorkshire rivals Barnsley smashed Peterborough 4-0 in League One.
It is not often that fans of both Leeds United and Barnsley will agree on something. But it seems that the supporters of two Yorkshire giants have been united in disagreement against the EFL’s most recent Team of the Week selection.
The decision makers choose a back three – but there was still no place for Leeds’ saviour Pontus Jansson.
The Elland Road cult hero produced his finest performance under Marcelo Bielsa in Saturday’s 1-1 home draw with Brenford, timing a number of challenges to perfection, driving forward from the back and even scoring the equaliser with a late, looping header.
And Barnsley fans have been left similarly baffled.
The Tykes produced one of the finest performances in the Football League at the weekend, battering promotion rivals Peterborough United 4-0 at London Road. And Brad Potts was the star of the show, scoring a clinical brace from central midfield.
But Potts was also omitted from the EFL’s Team of the Week – though his Barnsley team-mate George Moncur was rewarded with an inclusion for his stand-out display against Steve Evans’ side.
Though this has not stopped the criticism.
