The Gaffer's Take
Speaking to iFollow Barnsley, the gaffer said:
"Their home record is good. It's a really difficult pitch. People just look at the table and where they were at one point in the season, Dino's done a brilliant job to get them out. They won't think they're safe yet, because you never do when it is you. You'd imagine that they look like they've done enough. They need one more. We don't want it to be against us.
"They play aggressive, in-your-face style of football. So if you go there thinking it's going to be an easy ride then you'll come unstuck. I know they got beat by Peterborough, but other than that their home record has been pretty good recently. We'll go there fully aware of the challenges, but the main focus will be on us."
We wish a safe journey to all Reds making the trip to the Pirelli Stadium on Good Friday. Be sure to sing your hearts out and get behind the boys in this important Sky Bet League One clash.
