Match Day Barnsley vs Newcastle

[G.B]

Another tough game this. Lascelles should be ok to play after illness, expecting Ritchie to return and Sky Sports claim Diame isn't in the squad which probably means another outing for Perez.

I think a draw is likely.

6-3 to Newcastle.

Pretty cracking atmosphere expected with shy of 6000 there too.

 

[Craig]

Should be a 19k crowd.

Diame starts then... shows how much Sky know about our goings on.

I hate to say it but I kind of expected this result. 6 weeks ago I would have been confident of a win here but momentum has gone. I still think we'll survive quite comfortably this season (provided we can keep the squad together come January) but at the moment it's not going great. Had we beaten Fulham then this result might not have been as annoying.

That said though it was a great atmosphere. Very rare we get to see Oakwell almost full these days and that's in no small part down to the Newcastle following which was, as ever, fantastic.
