......... I’m not sure about this ...... but
I think this lockdown may have helped Barnsley get to where they are now.

Barnsley has the youngest squad in the Championship.
We all know what the Barnsley crowd is like - it’s great when things are going well - but individuals in the crowd can be very cruel when things arnt going great.
So would these young players have had the time to settle and gain confidence if the crowd was back in at the WELL.
I doubt it.
