Before games I generally head over to the opposition's web site to see what they are writing about Barnsley in their match preview - yes I know I should get a life, but... This is from Cardiff City's site on Barnsley ( an extract) "Striker Tom Bradshaw is the standout forward in the Barnsley ranks, with 57 appearances and 13 goals to his name since his move from Walsall last summer. The 25 year-old also impressed during his second Wales appearance against Panama last week. Bradshaw’s strike partner Mamadou Thiam is another who has had a decent start to life in English football. The 22-year-old is known for his strength and pace, and has netted one goal in four games for Heckingbottom’s side." Not a clue. No mention of Harvey Barnes, any potential injuries, the dangers of Hammill etc... Whoever wrote about this shows they haven't got a clue or done any real research. Mamadou has not really fulfilled his potential at the moment, and we hope he will... This is lazy journalism and I hope that the Cardiff Coaching staff will have a similar level of knowledge about our team, but I think they might have done a bit more homework and sent someone to watch us....but it's a long way from Cardiff boyo! This is a team I would dearly love us to beat,
I am pleased to say that the preview on Cardiff on Barnsley's website is much more thorough and professional - and includes an analysis of the formations and tactics of Warnock's team.
