Back on home soil next up in the Sky Bet Championship as we welcome Luton Town to Oakwell - it's time for the preview.
With Tuesday night seeing the Reds defeated once again on the road, it will be a case of looking for some home comforts on Saturday when Barnsley host Luton in a 3pm kick off.
The 2-0 defeat against Birmingham City in midweek means the Reds are now winless in four matches for the first time during Head Coach, Daniel Stendel's tenure.
With all four points this season gained at Oakwell, the German will be looking for his young side to put in a more pleasing display against a side who themselves are searching for the sweet smell of success.
There was no Cauley Woodrow at St. Andrew's during the week, with the marksman picking up a knock against Charlton Athletic last weekend. But it's thought that he ought to recover in time for Saturday and the visit of his former club.
Midfielder Alex Mowatt returned to the side after missing the previous two games; Dani Pinillos was back in the squad for the first time this season and there was a brief debut from the subs bench for striker Patrick Schmidt.
Places are up for grabs according to Stendel as he searches for the winning formula.
Meanwhile, both First Team Coach Dale Tonge and full back Ben Williams spoke to the assembledc media in midweek as they previewed this Saturday's clash with the Hatters.
Both their pre-match press conference videos can be watched now on iFollow Barnsley.
In terms of our opponents this weekend, the Bedfordshire outfit are without a league win in four attempts so far this campaign.
Off the back of last season's outstanding title-winning season, finishing just ahead of the Reds in League One, the Hatters - under new boss Graeme Jones - reshaped their squad.
Using the free transfer and loan market in the main, Luton recruited a number of players with vast experience in the Championship, with three of them very familiar to Barnsley supporters in particular.
Defenders Martin Cranie and James Bree were not too long ago plying their trade at Oakwell on a weekly basis, and whilst the former is unlikely to play this weekend after suffering a knee injury in midweek at Sheffield Wednesday, on-loan Bree is likely to make a return to his old stomping ground.
As is versatile midfield man Jacob Butterfield who was once a purely attack-minded playmaker when captaining the Reds some eight years ago now, but now sits in front of the defence, dictating play from deep.
With Ryan Tunnicliffe, Matty Pearson, Luke Berry, Elliot Lee and George Moncur also on the Luton books, there's going to be a fair old reunion feel about the place this weekend!
Despite three consecutive defeats for the Hatters, it's said that they've been very unlucky to lose all three. And they did knock out Ipswich Town in the Carabao Cup whilst also drawing with Middlesbrough 3-3 on the opening weekend.
They went down in injury time 2-1 away at Cardiff City two weeks ago, 2-1 again, this time at home to WBA last weekend despite leading at half time, and then last time out in midweek they dominated Sheffield Wednesday at Hillsborough only to see an error in defence gift the Owls a 1-0 win and all three points.
The Championship is an unforgiving division and both sides this weekend will be looking at this clash as one that could kickstart their season if a positive result is secured.
Historically, the Reds (27 wins) edge the Hatters (23 wins) head-to-head.
Last season Barnsley took four points off Luton; 3-2 winners at Oakwell in front of the TV cameras before a 0-0 stalemate at Kenilworth Road on New Year's Day.
