BARNSLEY v DERBY COUNTY League 1 # 33 |
Oakwell 1500 Saturday 25th February 2023 |
Normal service resumed v Charlton? We performed well yet looked a little stodgy at times but it would have been a slight travesty if they had scored. |
Not much to write this week as I have been away and just got back. We've already beaten Barnsley twice this season and they cannot really be relishing meeting us. |
Will the manager of the month curse continue flare up again? Will the February slump rear its head - again? Hopefully not as we seem to be more stoic than in past Februarys - he says with confidence. |
Injury news - Max Bird still isn't up to it. James Chester (?) is still in rehab. |
Barnsley have won five out of their last six games and are no pushovers despite our aggregate of 5-1 over this season. They are in good form and on paper little to choose between the two of us. |
And a big for Eiran Cashin who scored his first goal for the first team in the 2022-23 season for the Rams. An ever present who has still to reach his full potential and still to reach his full height. |
Team news:- Wildsmith (GK), Forsyth (C), Hourihane, Cashin, Barkhuizen, McGoldrick, Mendez-Laing, Smith, Sibley, White, Knight |
Subs:- McGee (GK), Collins, Roberts, Dobbin, Thompson, Springett, Davies |
