Barnsley ’til I Die Prediction League; prove your knowledge!

Every week in my match preview I ask you for your prediction as to how the game will turn out on the next day. These have always just been informal and for the sake of themselves, not as part of a competition. Thanks to www.soccerpro.com that is now changing.

Keeper backed to shine

Barnsley keeper Luke Steele is backing his replacement David Preece to do a good job against Crystal Palace on Saturday.

Steele out of Eagles clash

Barnsley boss Mark Robins will be without keeper Luke Steele for the clash with Crystal Palace this weekend as he will be suspended.

Barnsley’s Price is Right

With 12 games left, and with our season looking increasingly mid-table (not over yet, though) some parts of my brain are turning towards next season. Last week I looked at who was due a new contract, and decided on which of the ten were most important; For the record, I didn’t really back Preece. On top [...]

Players told to bounce back

Barnsley boss Mark Robins has urged his side to put Saturday's heavy defeat at Newcastle out of their system quickly.

Poll: Who should start in midfield?

Saturday was just weird. Every disaster has several causes. On Saturday the primary cause was that Newcastle are very good, but other causes include the Referee, Preece and our poor defending. Point is, it wouldn’t happen in another game, say, the one next Saturday. I know it seems a bit early to talk about what’s happening next game, [...]

Robins - ref wrong

Barnsley boss Mark Robins was unhappy with the ref after keeper Luke Steele was sent off for tripping Peter Lovenkrands at Newcastle.

Newcastle 6-1 Barnsley, that stings.

Perhaps it is the ridiculous view, perhaps it is the ridiculous stadium, perhaps it is the ridiculous defending, but this game just doesn’t seem real. We haven’t looked like that was coming up on us, and despite how I’m about to criticise large parts of the team, I must maintain that against any other team [...]

Newcastle 6-1 Barnsley

Peter Lovenkrands and Danny Guthrie both score twice as Newcastle ease to victory over 10-man Barnsley.

Match Preview; Newcastle Away

Tomorrow we play against Newcastle, you might have heard. Apparently Sky haven’t, because as everyone who’s looked at a TV schedule will testify, Newcastle are always on. I feel sorry for the Toon Army really, we are one of just a handful of teams they will play both ways 15:00 on a Saturday. Having said that [...]

Striker looks for start

Barnsley manager Mark Robins has striker Iain Hume pushing for a starting place against Newcastle on Saturday.

Barnsley Supporters Football Club

It’s probably not as well known as it should be that many of this country’s professional teams have a supporters team to go with them. That includes us. I’d heard of our team a fair few times before, but never really paid too much attention. Then I saw this video… Below is a montage of some of [...]

Striker tipped for first team

Burnley boss Brian Laws has hinted that striker Jay Rodriguez may be allowed to return to Barnsley on loan.

Poll: Who’s our best player?

Ah, what a fundamental and general question this is; Who’s Barnsley’s best player? See, today I was having a discussion with a friend who knows a lot about football. I mean, a lot. Thing is, his knowledge comes on the international level, he follows top level leagues and the best players. His knowledge of the Championship is [...]

Robins - contract talks on going

Barnsley boss Mark Robins has said he is happy with many members of his squad playing for future contracts at the club.
