Barnsley -vs- Aston Villa - 27/9/16 - 19:45

[Craig]

First meeting since the 1997/98 season. After Villa's start I am quite confident of a win here. That said we're coming off the back of a couple of disappointing results and by all accounts we played poorly at Brighton. Hoping we'll bounce back here with a big scalp though.

League head to head.

We are approaching a turning point, but I don't think we'll do it here, Barnsley have started like a house on fire.

2-2

3.1 win. Will be tough, but I'm hopeful

First home league game I'm missing this season so will probably be the most entertaining.

Anyone know what the record number of draws in a 46 game season is?

85th min vs Sheff Weds
86th min vs Huddersfield
87th min vs Forest
88th min vs Brentford
89th min vs Barnsley

9 points dropped which would have us 3rd in table

No idea, but we're determined to beat it, we already hold the Premier League record.

August 2015 was when we last won away. 96 points from 95 home games over the last 5 years. What a dreadful few years it's been. Can't see RDM lasting much longer.
