The dugout

Joe Gauci: that is not what I was promised

“Things were said to me before I signed. I am not going to repeat them, but I remember all of them.” Barnsley have not answered, which is an answer of sorts.

Player ratings

Layton Stewart scores twice — 8.63

Two goals and a mark of 8.63 to go with them. Strikers are judged on afternoons like this one and remembered for far fewer of them than people imagine.

Market

Georgie Gent hands in a written request

“I have nothing bad to say about this place. I just need to be somewhere else.” It is in writing now, which changes what Barnsley can pretend not to have heard.

Market

Preston come back empty-handed

The bid was some way short and Barnsley did not need long over it. Nobody in the game reads a first refusal as the end of anything.

Squad

Tempers go at Barnsley

Layton Stewart 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.

Boardroom

Graduation day at Barnsley

5 boys move up, and somewhere in the building the people who coached them at twelve are quietly having the best morning of their working year. Nothing about this shows up in a result and it is why the academy exists.

Transfer targets

Door shut on Róbert Boženík

Barnsley asked and Brentford said no without discussing a figure. It is the least ambiguous answer in football and the one clubs most often come back to test.

Match

Layton Stewart sends Barnsley past Wycombe Wanderers

It finished 2‑0, and it was Layton Stewart’s afternoon: on the scoresheet when it mattered, and the reason the points belong to Barnsley.

Match

A bad afternoon for Barnsley against Milton Keynes Dons

0‑2 to Milton Keynes Dons, and no complaints worth printing. The performance asked for nothing more than it got.

In brief
