The BBC Radio Leeds channel is a fixture of the British football broadcasting world, and its most recent call-the-action sessions have already seen these three names working together.

The teams
Rotherham United and Bradford City are the two clubs going head-to-head. Bradford City's start to the season has been tough, and Jamie Raynor's side of things alongside Mark Bower and Paul Hudson has already weighed in on whether expectations are too high after a 0-0 draw against Northampton Town.
