Barnsley is still maintaining a winning trend since January, and is determined to continue it this weekend. This time they acted as hosts to face Wycombe Wanderers at Oakwell Stadium.
Saturday (9/2) then the host competed at Gillingham headquarters and managed to win big, 1-4, through the actions of Kieffer Moore, Jacob Brown, and Cauley Woodrow who contributed 2 goals. As such, they managed to finish this month’s opening 2 matches as winners, starting with a 2-0 party over Scunthorpe when they competed at Oakwell.
From the side next door, Wycombe could not enjoy the turn of the month after being held to a 0-0 draw by Bradford as the host, then last week was beaten Luton 3 goals without reply. This successive disaster also made them go down to 10th position and threatened to be replaced by 2 teams below if they failed to gain numbers again on tomorrow’s visit.
The news is a breath of fresh air for Barnsley, who currently occupies the runner-up position with a difference of 6 points from Luton. In addition, they also held a grudge after falling 1-0 when they arrived at Wycombe last December, while tomorrow is the first battle at Oakwell after in February 2004 it ended with a 0-0 draw.
