Our defense away from home really needs to be looked at though. We are wide open at times. I appreciate we want to attack but away games require different strategy.
I doubt we’ve played at Oakwell very often in the last 20 years. First 7 seasons we were in the Premier League then 2 in the Championship then the other 11 in the bottom 2 leagues of the football league so in the last 20 years we’ve probably visited Oakwell maybe 5 times
In fact only 4 times in the last 20 years ... 3 defeats and a draw.
But 15 times since 1990, 11 defeats, 3 draws and one win.
Somebody may well have come up with this already but I've got a recollection of going to Barnsley thirty odd years ago and as I recall we won 1-0 and the goalscorer was Jimmy Gilligan. I remember it was pi**ing down so we paid 50p extra and sat in the stand and I also remember Willie the Whale getting confiscated (you can't arrest an inflateable) and removed from the ground. Am I right or am I confusing it with another day 'up norf' a long time ago?
