    Oh I totally agree mate, 10th place didn't reflect our season to that point. However, after the 3-3 we dropped off a cliff and only won another 2 games iirc

    It definitely was the turning point. I felt gutted after that game. I knew it was significant because my Dad was usually non plus about results with us not going. However, that day when it came up 3-3 on the vidiprinter he was "typical Barnsley f cu king useless. Just when they look like doing sumat they boll ocks it up". I'd never seen a reaction like that from him before.

    You never know when the players had their debrief at the end of the season it might have been one of the things that spurred them on for 96/97.

    I don't think any of us have been the same since that game. I know we've chucked results away since but I think the nervousness when we're in front in any game late on stems from that game.

    Danny Wilson felt that squad of players couldn't move the club forward. Which is why so many established players (Payton, Butler, O'Connell, Bishop, Archdeacon) were moved on and replaced by ones of better quality in the Summer of 1996.

    I agree mate, although the squad had finished 6th the season before and were in the running for the playoffs again before "that" game with Ipswich

    No. We were at home to fellow promotion hopefuls Exeter. We were 3-0 at half time and playing them off the park. We ended up losing 4-3. They went up, we didn't.

    We drew 4-4 with Stockport County, February 1979 the season we were promoted under Allan Clarke. Leading 4-1 going into the last ten minutes, Stockport hit back and equalised, with veteran Les Bradd scoring a hat trick. Gary Copley made his league debut for us in that match (Peter Springett was injured) and never played in the first team again.

    Middlesbrough away at Ayresome Park in, I think, Wilson's first season in charge.

    The game should never have kicked off in the icy conditions, but we were treated to a farcical 1st half of ice-skating, the highlight of which was O'Connell going down with a fake injury so that our players could change footwear. There was pretty much a shower of trainers thrown onto the pitch from the dugout while he was on the ground.

    It got abandoned at half-time with the score at 1-1, if I recall correctly.
