Match12 Sep 2026

No end in sight to Barnsley's wait for a win

5 matches now without a victory, and the excuses have worn thinner than the patience. Somebody at Barnsley has to find a result from somewhere.

Real improvement from Luke Alker at Barnsley

Form comes and goes; this has not gone. Luke Alker is 19, and the version of him training now would not have got into the side he was in a year ago.

Tempers go at Barnsley

Jack Shepherd was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.

Match12 Sep 2026

Tawanda Chirewa’s goal not enough for Barnsley

Tawanda Chirewa scored, and precious little else went right: 1‑2 to Stockport County, and a quiet walk to the dressing room.

Squad14 Sep 2026

The manager makes an example of Luca Connell

“If you cannot run for the shirt, somebody else will wear it.” No name was used and none was needed; every player in that room knew who it was for.

Squad14 Sep 2026

Barnsley lose Kieren Flavell

27 days, the medical staff say, and medical staff are optimists by profession. The team sheet will look wrong without him.

Nobody could get near Scott Banks

Successful dribbles: 29. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Match5 Sep 2026

4 matches without a win for Barnsley

The run now stands at 4, and the questions being asked around Barnsley are no longer polite ones.

Match5 Sep 2026

4 matches without a goal for Barnsley

The chances are being made and something is happening between the making and the finishing. 4 matches now, and the anxiety in the ground arrives a little earlier every week.

Tempers go at Barnsley

Tawanda Chirewa was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.

Kieran Green falls out with a teammate over standards

The oldest argument in any dressing room and the only one that is genuinely about football: one man thinks another is not putting enough in. It is also the row a manager privately does not mind having happened.

Squad7 Sep 2026

No hiding place for Jack Shepherd

“I pick players who do the work. All of it.” No name was spoken; every camera still turned to Jack Shepherd, and the manager let it.

Market7 Sep 2026

Barnsley and Luca Connell are talking past each other

“There is a gap, and pretending there is not helps nobody.” Neither side has moved, and the calendar is working for exactly one of them.

Squad7 Sep 2026

The armband comes off Reyes Cleary

Barnsley will explain it as a decision about the team, and it may well be one. A dressing room has never once read it that way.

Match5 Sep 2026

Point won or two lost for Barnsley?

Ninety minutes, no goals, and the argument started before the car park emptied: a point gained, or two thrown away against Wigan Athletic? Both sides of it will still be going on Thursday.
