If we win tonight.......

(all stats courtesy of soccerbase)</p>

it will be the first time EVER in the history of Barnsley FC that a new manager-permanent or temporary-has won his first 2 league games in charge</p>

no-I didn't believe it either but anyone can check the figures if they want!</p>

So it must be our turn tonight..............

Are you sure

I thought Clarke won the first 6 league games, with a league cup loss to Chesterfield in the middle.

 

First 5 wasn't it

 

RE: First 5 wasn't it

aye lost to Torquay on a Tuesday night. Les Lawrence scored for them.

 

mea culpa!!-didn't look closely at the dates-they lumped all cup games at the top

his first 2 games were the League Cup games v Chesterfield
