Have you got any stats of our performance against local teams over the last 3 seasons or so? By local I mean the Sheffields, Donny, Rotherham, Chesterfield, Huddersfield, Scnuthorpe, Bradford and Hull(and possibly Grimsby). My perception would be that our record is pretty poor - but I may be wrong!
RE: give me a few minutes! your guess is fairly spot on-we generally have performed worse in "derbies" than the overall season-both home and away-but i don't know whether that is the same for our opponents-and no I'm not going to check it out!!
possibly... a nil nil draw?? http://www.football-league.premiumtv.co.uk/page/GamesCount/0,,10794~200525,00.html
although historically.. we haven't done very well there since the war! Rotherham 1-1 Barnsley 26-12-2001 Rotherham 1-0 Barnsley 16-10-1982 Rotherham 2-4 Barnsley 14-11-1981 Rotherham 2-0 Barnsley 06-09-1980 Rotherham 1-1 Barnsley 07-04-1980 Rotherham 2-0 Barnsley 31-03-1975 Rotherham 2-1 Barnsley 26-12-1973 Rotherham 3-0 Barnsley 21-08-1971 Rotherham 1-0 Barnsley 17-04-1971 Rotherham 2-0 Barnsley 02-12-1969 Rotherham 0-0 Barnsley 31-08-1968 Rotherham 3-0 Barnsley 13-09-1958 Rotherham 4-1 Barnsley 15-03-1958 Rotherham 0-0 Barnsley 25-12-1956 Rotherham 0-0 Barnsley 05-09-1955 Rotherham 3-1 Barnsley 20-09-1952 Rotherham 4-0 Barnsley 20-10-1951 P 17 W 1 D 5 L 11 F 9 A 31 and 4 of our goals were in one match! Failed to score in 11 games only 3 clean sheets 1 goal in each of the other 5 games My prediction-a 2-0 defeat
