As it stands 1pt (2pts because of goal difference) from being in the play offs.
A very good team built without flashy names but of good quality, organised, hard working and everyone working in unison.
Good luck to them. They have the qualities needed to make a run at achieving promotion.

Cardiff were considered to be a reasonable bet for a play off place at the beginning of the season were most of the other in the playoff picture. Barnsley were thought of as probably a safe mid-table team at best, and in a relegation fight if things had gone wrong. Right now Barnsley are becoming the good-news story of the Championship with a unexpected be very deserved run at the play offs. |

They had a loanee score for them today too. We have a total of 1 worthwhile players on loan and he's hurt. I agree with not limiting the pathways for youngsters but we brought in a free agent striker and a 35 year old CB. I'd rather have used don't of the loan spots to fill those holes and another to compensate for Eiting's injury. When your squad is this thin it doesn't make sense to not use all the options at your disposal.

I'm guessing that you're trying to compare them to, is the Town team for our promotion to the PL? A team that wasn't even discussed in the pre-season running? I guess the only difference is that we were outside the top 6 once or twice all season back then? |

Barnsley don’t but they have a manager who gets all the players playing his system and have no chance of being relegated on a budget and wage structure lower than ours. They are a model we could copy. |

Not saying they’re splashing the cash, but they’re reputedly one of the richest clubs in the country now if you count combined wealth. |

I was following the Sheffield Weds & Coventry scores. I noticed Cardiff were winning, took a look at the top of the table and was surprised to see Barnsley 1pt of 6th place. I knew they had been going good, but didn't realise they were so close to the play off positions. Fair dues, I can't think of any who had them in with a shout of promotion at the beginning of the season. It only feels a month ago we were both close in the mid table. |

They're a solid side and have 12 more points than us despite us scoring more than them. Amazing what can be done when you hold on to leads...

Nope but who knows what’s going on as far as investment, they’ve even got Billy Beane of Moneyball fame on board. |

So I’m mates with a couple of Cardiff fans and their first relegation from the prem was followed with one and a half years of really poor football and shocking signings . They aren’t sure whether the chairman didn’t fancy it anymore . They say now they’ve got that way of playing ... not necessarily pretty ( Warnock, Harris, McCarthy) but they sign players to fit that mould. I suppose it’s the same journey I imagine Phil WANTS us to go down in terms of signing managers/players for the playing style. Big difference to me is the budgets available and, obviously, the massively different way of playing. |

A cock hair from being in league 1, and now with an outside chance of the playoffs, its quite obvious the reason for the turnaround...the manager, we`ll be playing them next season though.

They have the qualities needed to make a run at achieving promotion. barnsley are one of the richest clubs in the world, they historically are a third tier club, very strange, i wonder if an investigation into this may happen as to why all this money has been moved into that club Barnsley fan, I signed up just to debunk this nonsense. Our owners haven’t moved a penny into our club. The club is completely self-sufficient and all transfers and wages are paid for by transfers out and other traditional income streams. We just have good scouting and a long term club vision - that’s it. |

Not many teams kick off the game by launching the ball towards the opponents corner flag...It's up and at 'em stuff..but they key element (as it always is) having 11 players (plus subs) who all know what they're supposed to do..They don't have to do fancy twirls, skips and 'Ole's ..like some of our lot..they have a small role to play, a cog in the wheel, and they do it. Our lot all think they're playing on the Costa del Crappo..Bacuna comes to mind, but he's not alone...lack of discipline, or Carlos just hasn't got a grip of it ?

A better investment for Dean and Phil ‘aka Laurel and Hardy’ would have been to buy Barnsley FC and move it lock stock and barrel to the JSS.
Instead they thought they were smart and knew better than any other owners, delivering their own vision of a New Gold Dream for Town...

barnsley "Historically in the West Riding of Yorkshire", sounds a bit like Middlesbrough, don't know where they are from or going to
