BARNSLEY’S home form has been peculiar to say the least for much of 2023.
On the last occasion that they welcomed Shrewsbury Town on Easter Monday, they recorded an eighth successive league victory at Oakwell, something that they previously achieved in April 1955 when Anthony Eden was Prime Minister. After the feast, cometh the famine. In six League One matches on home soil so far in 2023-24 - prior to the Shropshire side’s latest appointment in this part of South Yorkshire - the Reds had won just twice, losing the other four.
At the other end, salt was soon added to Shrews’ wounds, with the visitors furious after referee Simon Mather failed to point to the spot following a tussle between Mael de Devigney and Malvind Benning, with the Reds defender appearing to grab hold of his opponents’ shirt. Moments later, Barnsley added a second to add to the Shrews’ chagrin.
