Yep I think that's arguably worse than our result. Losing 7-0 at home to a team in the division above would be embarrassing, never mind in the division below. Obviously doesn't detract from the utter sh1tshow last night mind
Come back on In other news what a professional afternoon by our league rivals Bristol Rovers and Bolton, who are dismantling their non league opponents with ease.
Marine 1 Harrogate 5. Some of the home fans will have been reminiscing on the bar at lunch time about how they thrashed that “other” Yorkshire team all those years ago 2-7 at Swindon now. Comeback is on!
It's as though surprise cup upsets never occur. Or only happen to Barnsley. Times I've seen us and other so called bigger clubs than their opponents struggle or lose are too many to mention.
Not too many shocks this round though. Last night was an act of charity towards the smaller club. We’re going through, no doubts
Don’t think losing to a team 1 level below with professional players is quite as a big as our debacle.
Hmmm, I think I'd have been feeling a hell of a lot worse this morning if we'd been pumped 7-4 at home to Mansfield or Crewe!
It's only last year that we conceded 4 goals at home to a team 2 divisions below us, who only had 10 men. So we've got recent form. Not that I minded cos it's in my top 5 Bizarre Barnsley games.
If I remember correctly I was feeling absolutely terrible after my Covid booster, so I gave it a wide berth. Found a dodgy stream and watched online. It was indeed one of the oddest BFC games I've ever seen.
Hallucination was indeed the order of the day. 3 of Barrow's finishes were world class, as was Cole's.
I think statistically last night is probably our worst ever result as a professional team based on quality of opposition. But bright spot is that we didn’t lose.
