Nottingham Forest extend Barnsley's winless run to eight
BARNSLEY may have scored a rare goal, but it was their deficiencies in defence that were on full display as they collapsed to a 3-1 defeat at home to Nottingham Forest.
Head coach Markus Schopp spoke pre-match of his side needing to be more decisive up front, and there certainly were signs the message had been heard in the first 45 minutes.
But Forest, under new boss Steve Cooper – whose Swansea City side denied...

Reds' international break focused on improving 'transition moments'
BARNSLEY’S work on the training ground during the international break will be centred on ‘transition moments’ in attack and defence.
The Reds have struggled to create chances, with an average of ten shots per game, and are the league’s joint-lowest scorers with just seven goals.
Their expected goals per game is around 0.9 based on chances created, while they have taken 15 shots for every goal.
Head coach Markus Schopp has attempted to implement a...
George goes for transplant games success
A CUDWORTH man who had a kidney transplant 20 years ago will compete in the British Transplant Games in Sheffield next year.
George Hopkinson, 74, of Acre Road, will take part in the snooker, bowls, ten pin bowling and the darts section of the Westfield Health British Transplant Games.
He was diagnosed with kidney problems in 1980 and was put on dialysis for two years until he had a transplant in 1987.

Barnsley squad's first impressions of Daniel Stendel
Daniel Stendel is currently a mysterious figure to those outside Oakwell, as his limited English has prevented any media interviews in his first five weeks as head coach, but he is becoming well-known and well-liked within the squad according to his players.
After three weeks of training and two pre-season friendlies, Stendel appears – without making signing so far – to have brought some positivity back into a squad following the disastrous tenure of Portuguese...
'Lucky' Reds held by non-league Seals
Danny Wilson admitted Barnsley are 'very lucky to be in the hat' after a disappointing performance in a goalless draw at home to non-league Chester in the second round of the FA Cup on Sunday.
Conference club Chester hit the bar, had two efforts cleared off the line, saw a goal disallowed and forced Ross Turnbull into two fine saves.
Barnsley had plenty of chances themselves, especially towards the end, but it was not much...
Appleby last club player booked at Wembley
MATTY Appleby holds the record of being the last ever player to receive a yellow card in a competitive club game at the old Wembley.
The midfielder, who played 166 games in six years with Barnsley including the 1997/98 Premiership season, was the only Red to be booked during their 4-2 loss to Ipswich in the 2000 Division One play-off final.
Appleby said: “That’s my claim to fame.
“It was late in the game, I...
Miller now on frontline and working with prisoners
KEVIN Miller was Barnsley’s last line of defence at Wembley 20 years ago but is now on the frontline during the coronavirus crisis.
The former Reds goalkeeper works for a company that transports prisoners from police stations to courts or prisons in his home county of Cornwall.
He said: “It’s very different but really enjoyable and interesting. I was a very hot-headed footballer but, in this job, you have to be very calm.
“I never...

Curtis ‘eternally grateful’ for loan
JOHN Curtis started the 1999/2000 season playing in the European Super Cup in Monaco and ended it at Wembley in the Division One play-off final.
The right-back – who had made his league debut for Manchester United in their 7-0 success over Barnsley in the Premiership three years earlier – played for Sir Alex Ferguson’s Champions League winners in a 1-0 loss to a Lazio side containing Pavel Nedved, Alessandro Nesta and Diego Simeone.

OAKWELL LEGENDS: Banks treasures Wednesday and Rotherham wins
Ian Banks’ Barnsley career ended with ‘a massive bust-up’ with Mel Machin at Filbert Street, finishing a 15-year association with the club for whom he scored some classic goals and played in one of its greatest teams.
The midfielder from Mexborough – nicknamed ‘Banger’ – came through the Oakwell youth system and was a key player for the side that reached the top half of the Second Division in the early 1980s. He then moved...
