But neither started in Saturday’s 1-1 draw at Wigan Athletic with Connell...
COMMENT: What is left to play for this season?
WITH promotion now not even being discussed by the most diehard positivity merchants, what is there for Barnsley to play for this season?
There is always professional pride at stake as well as providing positivity for disgruntled fans.
They simply must improve their abject home record, with four out of six games in April at Oakwell.
Individual players are also playing for their futures, either at Oakwell or elsewhere, but there is a worry that...
