    We face Exeter City this weekend for only the 21st time in our history, the 11th meeting at Oakwell, and for the first time since 1981.

    Our overall head to head record leans in Exeter's favour, as they've beaten us 9 times, to our 7. The vast majority of Exeter's victories have come on home soil. Although at Oakwell, we've only been defeated once by Exeter in their previous 10 visits, winning on 5 occasions.

    Exeter have started the season reasonably well, and currently find themselves in 11th place, 5 points shy of the play-offs. Their form has been very inconsistent, and they've struggled to put back to back results together.

    Away from home, they've won 1, drawn 2 and lost 2. Their victory came in their last away game at Forest Green, and was a comprehensive 4-0 win against arguably the worst side in the league at present.

    They haven't faced any of the current top 8 in the league yet, suggesting they've had a fairly favourable start to the season in terms of fixtures, with a Goalless draw against 9th place Accrington, and a defeat at 10th place Cambridge, being their only games against sides currently above them in the table.

    They have of course lost their head coach. This could disrupt their preparation for the game on Saturday, considering the influence he had in terms of getting them to where they are. It also makes them a bit of an unknown quantity under interim bosses, Kevin Nicholson (who's last managerial position was at a team called Mousehole) and Jon Hill, neither who have considerable league managerial experience.

    Our current form reads 3 straight wins, 6 unbeaten, and one home league defeat in 5. I personally think its a great time to play Exeter; the departure of Taylor has been handled in a fairly bizarre manner, and they're a team who've had a favourable run of fixtures, and have inconsistent form.

    I'm going for 2-0 Barnsley, with Benson and Norwood getting the goals.

    Objectively it should be a very comfortable home win. However, this match has "banana skin" written all over it. 1-1.

    Always unsure with these. Does losing the manager give the same sort of bounce as sacking one or will the players be disrupted rather than relieved
    Going for a scrappy 1-0 to us but again with low confidence

    Either 3-1
    Cole, Norwood, Benson

    or 1-3

    Nicholson has had some involvement at Torquay United but both could be a bit overawed if we pack a decent crowd in on Saturday and turn it on during the first half, maybe going two or three goals up. I have been to Mousehole many times (Mowzal is how they pronounce it) but I never noticed a football pitch anywhere. It's only a tiny Cornish village

    I'll go 4-0 to us, but we should be wary of getting over confident. A victory anyway, whatever the score.

    If we're 3-0 up at half-time, I'm off home.

    Yeah I saw Nicholson was formerly the Torquay manager. His win percentage there wasn't great either, about 30% iirc, however I don't know too much about the circumstances. Torquay certainly have taken a nosedive since we last played them in 2005.

    Ive been to Mousehole a few times as well but not for quite a few years. Its a nice little fishing village and I'd never seen a football ground either so I googled it - its on the outskirts next to the cricket pitch and campsite
    Its not a very big ground - does have floodlights though. Not sure any management experience there is much above managing a pub or works team

    That must be a mile or two outside the village though as it’s all clustered around the harbour from my memory. Always a challenge getting in and out of the really narrow streets or through to the other side, heading for Lamorna

    They score goals with 2 players on 6 & 7. They seem to get a lot of penalties - 2-1 to us

    Its about a mile away looking at the satellite photo. The village in the foreground, the one with the Church, is called Paul
    Mousehole is out of sight where the land dips to the sea just in front of the small island you can see in the photo

    I’m feeling a 3-1 win here, after the setback from conceding first early on
