A few recent/not so recent results to give us hope for differing reasons :)

Birmingham 0-4 Barnsley in 2000- no-one expected that.
Palace 0-3 Watford - no-one expected that.
Preston 0-2 Leeds - Preston thought they'd already done the hard work there.
Huddersfield 1-2 Chesterfield - recent game
Huddersfield 1-2 Yeovil - recent game.

Now if Yeovil and Chezzie can win at the Farm, so can we!

 

I think we're in for a pleasant surprise Journo Lad

Next week will surprise a few, particularly if they realise they have no chance of winning any headers and stick it on the floor.

Feckin clown stuff for the goal, but Colgans save - wow

 

RE: I think we're in for a pleasant surprise Journo Lad

true , we should have already been 3 nil maybe 3 1 down well before hecky and colgan got the clown outfits on ...

at 1 nil down there is hope, especially if we can get an early goal and get them and the crowd a bit nervous

 

I really hope so...

All the pressure has switched onto them now...

All it needs is any old win to keep things at least alive into ET.

 

I really hope so too but.. (edited)

it's only happened twice in 20 years in this division that the home team losing the first leg has gone on to the final</p>

I like the omens from the Stoke game</p>

3rd place playoff team</p>

lost by the odd goal at home</p>

won the away leg 2-0? here's hoping</p>

 

All we can really say is:

Yes, Huddersfield are strong favourites to make the final, but Barnsley certainly have a chance.
