Will the Tykes still be Top of the League at 1700 hours on Saturday 12th August 2023?
BARNSLEY ONLY PLAYED 4 FULL PRE-SEASON FRIENDLIES
Their two defeats were by the odd goal against sides from the second tier.
01/07/23 Worksop Town 1 - 2 Barnsley
05/07/23 AFC Fylde 0 - 2 Barnsley
( Abandoned after 60 minutes due to inclement weather. )
18/07/23 Hull City 1 - 0 Barnsley
22/07/23 Blackburn Rovers 4 - 3 Barnsley
25/07/23 Mansfield Town v Barnsley
( Cancelled at Barnsley's request. )
29/07/23 Barnsley 2 - 1 Crewe Alexandra
2023/24 SEASON BEGINS
05/08/23 Barnsley 7 - 0 Port Vale
(This victory ensures Barnsley visit The Mem next Saturday as league leaders.
This will guarantee the chant " top of............. having a laugh" will be booming out from the terraces.)
08/08/23 Barnsley 2 - 2 Tranmere Rovers in EFL CUP
Tranmere Rovers won 7 - 6 on penalties.
AMENDED
Thanks to Topper Gas
Another pre-season friendly took place. Not certain that Barnsley approached the game in the same manner as Leeds United.
15/07/23 Leeds United 9 - 1 Barnsley Behind Closed Doors.

Currently 1-0 down at Home to Tranmere in the Cup
No idea on their team selection mind.

Just looking at the match info and it says 9 minutes ET in First Half and 11 minutes in Second Half……🫣. Plus pens….!
At this rate might be worth the club starting a Breakfast Club ………!

NEILL COLLINS
BARNSLEY MANAGER PREVIEWS BRISTOL ROVERS TRIP
ON BRISTOL ROVERS
"They were very unfortunate not to beat Portsmouth last weekend. I think a draw was maybe a fair result, two very good sides. Bristol Rovers have got some fantastic individual talent. Last night was obviously a difficult game, going to Ipswich, they're a very good side. This is one of the toughest tests we'll face on the road. We're going to have to be at our very best to give ourselves a chance. I still think we're at a point where we're really trying to focus on ourselves but aware of what we're going to face. I think for me, as I say all the time, I think I'm gonna learn a lot about the group this week. Also mindful of what we do have available. We've got a young bench going down to Bristol, I thought the young players acquitted themselves very well the other night. Bristol Rovers are a step up again, that's the challenge, but one that we're looking forward to."
ON THE GAS' STYLE OF PLAY
"They're a very attacking outfit. They have good players at the top end of the field. They've got real quality out wide and through the middle. We'll need to handle them to give ourselves a good chance. You can tell that they want to play football, they want to build from the back, so that gives us a different challenge to face. I think they're a team that has had a bit of stability. The manager's been there now, I think this is his third season, so that brings a certain level of consistency to the squad and playing style. This will be a great challenge for us."
