Last score prediction thread for a while, as I'm taking a break from all social media. Away from home, Barrow have only beaten Banbury in their last 8 matches. They currently sit 19th in league 2 and have won just once in their last 13 matches in the league. Historically, we haven't played Barrow since 1970, in what was our only draw with them. We've won 14 of the 19 meetings between the two sides, and only ever lost twice at Oakwell to them (1966 & 1968, both by 2-3 scorelines). I don't expect us to rest too many players given the break we've just had, and I think despite our poor form this season, we'll have enough to see off Barrow. I'm going for 2-0 with Morris and Styles on the scoresheet.
I'd actually quite like barrow to go through and get a big tie. The last thing I want to see is Paul Conway in the directors box of a Premier league team if we progress to the next round so that he can then spin his CV a little more.
Honestly think we’ll struggle. Barrow will have done their homework on us. If they sit back, keep it tight and hit us on the counter they know we’ll struggle to break them down. It’ll be one goal either way or go to pens. Yes, that’s how bad we are…..
This will be like a 1st round league cup match and we will be crap. I'm trying not to be overly negative, but they will be up for it, and we're us. Barnsley Nil, Barrow 1
2 nil Barrow They'll come sensing blood and a cup upset. We can't score or defend. What a time to play a championship club. I apologise profusely but my confidence in this team is zilch. Obviously I want us to win but..... If we were playing man u at old Trafford then I'd put a tenner on us. The odds for an upset would be through the roof and the other side of the universe.
It’ll be a tough game - we have ten players missing from training today with injuries/covid. I’ll go for a draw, and extra time win for us.
It could easily be: 0-3 A sad reflection of the last result when we played a Cumbrian Team at home in a cup match ......... Carlisle one evening a couple of years back. We all thought that was a walk in the park and we were royally done over. But I will go for a narrow home win, with Cole and Big Vic seeing us over the line.
I think its likely to be called off given we now have the virus in the squad but if it goes ahead Im going for 1-1 with us just scraping though on Pens
From a barnsley fan view i want us to progress not barrow and to get a tie in the next round against a team were not likely to visit anytime soon west ham,arsenal,spurs. Although that said i dont like the thought of 60k at the Emirates and conman and his mates getting half the proceeds.
