Season ticket holders at Oakwell Stadium haven’t seen too many victories this season, with Barnsley languishing in the 21st position so far. The guesting Queens Park Rangers will be hopeful to defend their higher league position in this one.
There’s little time for restitution or working hard at the training pitch these days, with both teams having played their last game less than four days ago.
