Barnsley game 19:09 - Apr 7 with 2397 views | Bent_double | I know, I know, one game at a time, eh! But this game has now gone from being a potentially tricky one a couple of weeks ago, when they were on fire, having just beaten their local rivals to something else entirely. Now, it looks like top 2 is out of reach for them, so they will just be sorting out their position for the play-offs, maybe even resting a couple of key players, with the added bonus of helping keep SW out of top 2 if they lose to us. We can win there anyway, but it looks like that phantom call-up for Leigh has helped us more than we could have hoped! |  |

Particularly given that we're not going to lose again this season. |  |

I agree, we should beat them, but they'll treat it like a derby match. I'm still looking for revenge for that 7-1 humiliation all those years ago, grrrr. |  |

If they win all the rest of theirs, that's a defeat for us already. If they are out of the automatic picture by the time we play, they could still see it as an opportunity to get a win against a side they could then face in the play-offs. I think the only difference in playing them when we will is the form each side is on. Form does not always predict results anyway. |  |

Barnsley game on 21:28 - Apr 7 with 1645 views | ringwoodblue | Barnsley had 20 shots to Burton’s 7, they had nine on target and scored only one while Burton had two shots on target and scored them both. That’s not very good but they will be a different prospect at Oakwell I suspect so I’m not discounting them just yet. |  |

Same, plenty of games yet, take nothing for granted. We have some tough games still but let's hope its all immaterial come Barnsley |  |

Not discounting them for top 2? They're effectively 7 points behind us, with just 7 games left, I would say they need to win all those games to be in with a shout - which they won't do - so it's play-offs for them. |  |

Barnsley game on 23:31 - Apr 7 with 1383 views | ParisBlue | Next 3 games are the important ones, if we can max out on those the last 4, which look tougher, will look after themselves. [Post edited 7 Apr 2023 23:32]

Yup, this one is the one that has me bum twitching, just because they'll go with all out sh*thousery to foil us. Now though, I think we could mix it if needed. Sam and Massimo are a match for anyone, and we've got a lot more streetwise in the last month or so. I say let them(and me) worry, the lads will take care of business. |  | |  |
