    Just thinking, aside from Winnall when was the last time we had a player who scored more than 20 in a season (in recent times)?

    I think Chopra came close but I can't think of anyone who actually did...

    Vaz Te would have probably done had he stopped with us. But there isn't anybody apart from Winnall in the past 20 years.

    Ward would have got 30 had Blackburn not bought us out of the promotion race.

    Would you call it recent times when Glavin was popping more than 20 goals a season.

    Hignett got 22 I think, but included the play off matches of 99/00. Before him, I think David Currie got 20 in 88/89 including Cup goals.

    Didn't Andy Payton get over 20 in a season in the mid 90's?

    He did, completely forgot about him. 17 in league and a hat-trick v Huddersfield in the League Cup.

    In all my years of watching Barnsley, only four players have scored 20 or more league goals in a season (Mick Butler, Brian Joicey, Ronnie Glavin & Sam Winnall).

    Cant double check cos I'm at work , but I believe there s only 8 players who ve scored 50 goals or more for the reds . Winnall would have been no 9 if he d stopped a bit longer (49) .

    We've never really had a player who consistently scored 20 - if we had a decent one we sold them. We've had some pretty decent centre backs but struggled with strikers

    As always you are correct.

    Payton got 20 including 3 in the cup
    Currie got 20 in total including 4 in the cup
    Hignett 21 including play offs
    Redfearn and Dyer both 19 including cups

    40 years between Joicey and Winnall as forwards scoring more than 20.

    Pretty surprising given the quality we had up from during those years.

    And I believe he came second in the player of the year award. Most overlooked guy in the history of the award. No way should he not have won it. Our record since then shows how hard it is to score 20 in a season.

    That’s actually a massive myth. I met him loads of times during his stay with us and he was a sound lad
