Matchday thread Barnsley v Derby Feb 25th 2023

[Geoff Parkstone]

So continuing the theme of opponents' nicknames, we come to Barnsley, aka the Tykes (Colliers or Reds).

A Tyke is defined as a "crude uncouth ill-bred person lacking culture or refinement".

I think we need go no further on this one.

Although Reds and Colliers seem strangely appropriate for the birthplace of Arthur Scargill.

5th v 6th. 1 point behind us but with a game in hand. You could be forgiven for thinking it will be tight. Our 2-1 win in the League was a game in which they probably deserved a point. The 3-0 win in t Cup cloud easily have been 5 or 6. We're on a hattrick of wins against them this season.

1-2.

We might easily have thrown that home match away, MA. They battered us in the second half of a match which needed drink breaks and was played in about 30 odd degree heat as I recall.
Not sure how close they were to full strength in the Cup, but it was pretty easy and I anticipate it being a lot harder on Saturday.
At full strength and illness free I’m going for 2-2...or with a little luck and much better finishing than last Saturday...2-3.
Wouldn’t be surprised if we end up playing them four or five times this season.
Enjoy your trip...after the cost of flights and ‘corporate’ etc you deserve to.

Thanks. The cost will be helped if Visa refund the Flymaybe tickets...

Or the Tyke might be a canine

Matchday! I don't think I predicted, so going to say 0-1 smash and grab for the rams, 91st minute winner.

[swaledale]

This will be a different game to the cup tie. I see a very tight game, 1-1 draw for me, but hope for a win which would be nice.

[SithHappens]

I think 2 2

[macstheman]

They will be going at it from the first second so we need to be ready for the early assault! It'll be a day for grinding out a result, I'll happily take a 1 - 1!

Rubbish 1st half.
