Romared Match Thoughts---Barnsley FC-v- Rotherham United FC

[SBRed48]

Remember it is a 7-15pm KO to inconvenience fans and to suit Sky schedules.

Steve Evans has had a lot on his plate recently.

Rotherham have turned round nearly the whole team following relegation and were the first off the blocks in the summer. "Big Steve" struggled to gel the team with a number of early defeats but a steady, if inconsistent recovery, means a win at Oakwell would put them only two points behind Darrell Clarkes promotion pushing side.

With only one home league win since February this calendar year Clarke really needs to be beating "the likes of Rotherham" to create a Fortress Oakwell.

Go Well Darrell's Men.

In the form Rotherham are in you'd be thinking very winnable home game given the upturn in our own fortunes albeit away from home .

However our home form remains unconvincing and this is a local derby where the form book goes out of the window .

Looks a nailed on draw to me but who knows with this fixture right now .

Well we have not won at home since Bristol Rovers so we are due 3 points however the other side of the coin says we have not lost at home since the opening match so we are due a defeat , now the logic of these stats would point towards a draw, therefore I conclude by saying that I havn"t got a clue what will happen !!n My gut says 3 points for the Super Reds , hope my gut has got it right .
