A nice win for Barnsley last time playing, versus Barrow (after extra-time). That was also a home game and the match ended 5-4 with Cole, Morris (2), Williams and Andersen scoring for the victors. A goal frenzy last time out for Barnsley, with a total of 9 goals in the match against Barrow (after extra-time). Fun stuff to watch! World class coaching! That was the thoughts of Asbaghi when Morris scored the winning goal after coming on as a substitute in the 65th minute.
A Championship defeat was the result before that one, 1-2 away at Blackburn Rovers.This is expected to be a close game, with Barnsley perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage.

3 wins, 4 draws and 5 losses. That’s the product of Blackpool playing as the away team in the Championship this season. Three might be a magic number, but there's been little wizardry in Blackpool's last three away games as they have all been lost.
