BARNSLEY manager Simon Davey wants new signings Michael Mifsud, Andranik Teymourian and Adam Hammill to help pull the club away from danger.
The Tykes are only two points clear of the Championship relegation zone ahead of tonight's South Yorkshire derby at Sheffield Wednesday and have lost five games in a row.

Davey, who admits that current form is 'unacceptable', says there would be nADVERTISEMENTo better place than Hillsborough to put a stop to the rot.

Coventry City striker Mifsud, Fulham midfielder Teymourian, and Liverpool winger Hammill have all moved to Barnsley on loan deals until the end of the season.

"It has been a frustrating month and on Saturday it was disappointing to look at the bench and see that we did not have many options to change the game. We now have those options," said Davey.

"It would be massive to win at Sheffield Wednesday. It would be massive for the fans to go there and win because the last month has not been acceptable. We have to make sure it stops and what better place to do it?"

Mifsud, who scored 17 goals for Coventry last season, will link up with his Maltese international strike partner Daniel Bogdanovic, who joined Barnsley last week.

Iranian international Teymourian has made only two appearances for Fulham due to injury problems after moving from Bolton Wanderers last summer.

He is hoping to prove his fitness at Barnsley before returning to push for regular football at Craven Cottage.

Hammill, 21, rejected offers from both Sheffield United and Leeds United in favour of a move to Oakwell and has already been on loan to Dunfermline, Southampton and Blackpool.
