Suppose a draw would be the best result, combined with a few red cards and injuries. There's a lot of bad blood between BFC and BWFC after Barnsley won last season in the play-offs, so could get feisty!
The elephant in the room concerns the potential points deduction for Barnsley following EFL charges from the start of the season - something to do with new part-owners joining the board and investing before they passed the EFL F&P tests. God knows why it's dragged on for so long but am sure Birmingham did something similar a couple of years back and they either had points deducted or were given a suspended deduction. Lots of moaning about the Everton and Forest situation, but this needs sorting asap.
If Barnsley are to lose points then a win for them tonight would be the best result!
Get your fingers out EFL
Rumours going around, this is going to be dealt with in May. Doesn't seem to be any official source.
It does seem very late in the day to be docking points that'll have major implications on Barnsley FC unless the breeches just concern a fine.
If the rumours are true either way, it's really strange given the amount of time that's past?
