The Chief Executive 

KHALED 

EL-AHMAD

Good afternoon, Reds. 

Welcome back to Oakwell for our second 

game this week and our final home Sky Bet 

Championship fixture of the campaign. I realise 

that this season hasn’t gone how you – or any of 

us at the club, for that matter – would have liked. 

We all share your disappointment and frustration, 

and now it is time to prepare for the challenges 

presented to us by League One. 

Away from the field, Barnsley Football Club and 

Reds in the Community are holding another 

collection for Barnsley Foodbank ahead of this 

afternoon’s visit of Preston North End. As the cost 

of living continues to rise, more and more of us 

are feeling the pinch financially, and some are 

considerably less fortunate than others. 

In this day and age, no one should have to 

choose between heating and eating, but the 

sad reality is that many families are struggling to 

cope with the rise of inflation. I understand that 

times are tough for us all, but if you can spare 

anything for those who are less privileged, that 

act of generosity will go a long way to making 

someone’s life a bit easier. 

So far, nearly 550kg of food has been donated at 

Oakwell, which is the equivalent of 1,306 meals 

to people in need. This is a fantastic statistic and 

a wonderful reflection of our fanbase, who pull 

together in times of need. 

As I mentioned in my notes against Blackpool 

on Tuesday evening, our U18s are on the verge of 

securing a place in the Professional Development 

League play-offs. That could happen today, 

depending on results elsewhere, or next weekend 

when they host Millwall here on the main pitch. 

I hope those of you who aren’t making the trip to 

West Bromwich Albion for the first team fixture 

will come and support the young lads, because 

they have been phenomenal this season and 

they deserve all the plaudits they receive. 

Thank you for the reception that you gave Amine 

Bassi, Claudio Gomes and Domingos Quina at 

half-time in midweek. These three players gave 

their all every time they put on the red shirt – as 

does everyone in the changing room – and I 

hope you can show your appreciation at full-time 

today to all of the team. 

Even though it has been a tough campaign, there 

have been some good individual performances, 

and these have been recognised in our end of 

season awards, which will be presented during 

the warm-up. 

We also pay our respects to supporters who are 

sadly no longer with us in our Reds Remembered 

tribute. The names of our loved ones are in 

this programme and will be read out ahead of 

kick-off this afternoon before we hold a minute’s 

reflection. 

A warm welcome to Ryan Lowe, his squad and 

all of the fans who have travelled here from 

Lancashire for this early kick-off. We wish you a 

safe journey back home, and hope that you – 

and everyone in attendance – enjoys the game 

today. 

Finally, a huge thank you to you, our supporters, 

who have been with us through it all this 

campaign, following the Reds up and down 

the country and watching here at Oakwell. We 

appreciate your backing more than you know, 

and I hope to see you all here again next season, 

cheering on the lads! 

Stay safe.

The Big Interview 

LIAM 

KITCHING 



s we approach our final home game of 

what has been a bitterly disappointing 

campaign, we spoke with Liam Kitching – 

not for the first time this season. 

Our no-nonsense defender was originally the 

cover star for the Boxing Day encounter with 

Stoke City and then once more for the visit of 

Blackpool back in January, both of which were 

postponed due to Covid-19. 

Things were tough for the Reds around the 

festive period. After overcoming Derby County 

at the start of November, a 13-game winless 

run would follow where we picked up just three 

points and succumbed to defeat by the odd goal 

on six occasions. 

That poor form summed up the campaign, 

overall; a few nearly moments and what if’s that 

continued to give everyone the briefest of hope 

until our fate was mathematically sealed with 

defeat at Huddersfield Town last Friday. 

10 

“I’m disappointed,” conceded Liam. “It’s just been 

one of those seasons where nothing has really 

gone right. We’ve never seemed to have any 

momentum or consistency, and we never really 

found our feet. 

“It’s just very disappointing and we’ve let 

down the fans, especially after the year before 

and what the lads had – I know I came in the 

January. 

“I think everyone thought we’d do a lot better 

than this, and it’s just disappointing for the fans 

not to be in for the season where we played well, 

and now we’ve played extremely poorly.” 

Throughout his career so far, Kitch, as he is 

known by everyone on Grove Street, has been 

involved in teams who have been fighting for 

promotion or, at the very least, consolidating in 

mid-table. 

To suffer relegation is a completely new feeling 

for the 22-year-old, who admits this is one of 

the lowest points that he has experienced whilst 

playing football. 

“I’ve never had a relegation,” he discussed. “Every 

team I’ve played for has been up in the top half 

of the table, so it’s a different feeling – it’s not a 

nice feeling, and it hurts a lot more because the 

group of lads that we’ve got is a cracking group 

of lads, and it’s just a shame that we’ve not done 

as well as we thought we would. 


“It’s been one of those seasons; it doesn’t help 

when you’re changing managers. At the start 

of the season, we didn’t have a real plan and 

it doesn’t help when everything is changing 

around the building. 

“I know it shouldn’t affect your game, but I think 

what you don’t realise is that it does – it affects 

players, it affects training, it affects all sorts, and it’s 

always different and hard to try to get used to it. 


11 

“Then, before you know it, we’ve got a new 

manager coming in and we couldn’t find our 

feet.” 

There was plenty of optimism around the camp 

given how we started the campaign. Four points 

from the opening two games against Cardiff 

City and Coventry City represented a decent 

return as we occupied ninth place in the Sky Bet 

Championship. 


Throw the magnificent first half display at 

Queens Park Rangers into the equation, too, and 

you would be forgiven for believing that the Reds 

might potentially enjoy a successful season. 

But a run of seven straight defeats, which 

culminated with the departure of Markus 

Schopp at the end of October, saw Barnsley 

languishing deep in trouble and was, ultimately, 

something we would never recover from. 


12 

“We started well at Cardiff with the draw and 

then beat Coventry,” discussed Kitch. “I can 

remember those two games because I thought 

we’d do well this season. 

“I don’t know really, we kind of just slipped off 

it. You look at the first half against QPR and we 

were unreal; we played really well going forward 


and defending, and we were 2-0 up and got 

complacent and it ended up 2-2. 

“Even then, I thought we were performing 

well and I thought QPR would be up there. 

At the start of the season, we put in a great 

performance against them. 


un, but we’ve never really had two or three wins 

on the bounce.” 

There have been games where the Reds haven’t 

quite had the fortune they deserve. You look back 

to the defeat at Ashton Gate and wonder how 

on earth we’ve left with nothing to show for our 

endeavours. 

Fine margins often decide encounters, and it’s 

safe to say that we haven’t had those when we 

needed them most. 

“There’s only so many times you can say you’ve 

not had a lot of luck, and then 40 games down 

the line you think it can’t be luck now because 

surely that would change,” he discussed. 

“I’ve thought that before; I thought our luck will 

change, but it never did, so it can’t really be down 

to that.” 

Three victories in four games in February 

threatened to spark a mini revival, with QPR, Hull 

City and Middlesbrough all despatched as we 

climbed off the foot of the table and closed the 

gap to Reading above. 

13 

Performances were also positive as we picked up 

points against Stoke and Fulham before beating 

Bristol City, and there was genuine belief around 

the camp that we could be in store for another 

great escape. 

“We did start to believe then, where we could 

have picked up so many points,” said Liam. “It 

was the Hull City game where we won and the 

Middlesbrough game, and everyone believed 

that we were really in it. 

“We won against QPR before that, and everyone 

thought we needed to take this momentum with 

us. We got unlucky against Stoke – I say unlucky, 

it was just a bit of bad defending – where we 

should have won. 

“But we’ve done that all season against good 

teams, so I don’t know what it’s down to. 

“We’ve not really had it the other way round 

where we’ve had a couple of wins under our belt 

and thought we can kick on. 

“I thought at the start of the season we’d get that 


“The Fulham game was just a bit of class from 

Harry Wilson, which he’s always going to bring, 

but it’s hard to say that we didn’t put up a really 

good fight against them. 

“Then we beat Bristol City but haven’t won since 

then.” 

We have often been undone by moments of 

brilliance in recent weeks. Lewis Baker fired home 


an unstoppable strike for Stoke, while Wilson did 

the same for Fulham just a few days later in the 

dying minutes. 

Fast-forward to Good Friday where Olivier 

Ntcham curled one into the top corner from 

distance. 

Six points. Gone. 

There’s no saying for definite whether we’d still 

be in the fight, but those goals were damaging 

to momentum and morale, and each one was a 

nail in the coffin as we inched closer to the trap 

door. 

14 

“Sometimes you’re proud of your performance 

when there’s a worldie going in – especially 

against Fulham,” continued Kitch. “I’m sure we 

were all proud of our performance and happy 

with our performance, but at the same time it 

was just a low blow because we defended so 

well for 85 minutes or whatever, and then he 

goes and sticks one in the top bins. 

“I think if we’d won that game, it’d have given us 

loads of confidence. They feel like a loss when 

you’re defending so well – those draws feel like 

losses.” 

What was even more demoralising for the Reds 

was the news at full-time that Reading had 

continued to pick up points and were gradually 

clawing their way clear of danger. 

That was a particularly bitter pill to swallow at 

Swansea City, where the lads left everything out 

on the pitch but only had a draw to show for 

their efforts, eventually learning that the Royals 

had snatched all three points at, of all places, 

Bramall Lane. 

“You can only control how many points you pick 

up in your game, so you’ve just got to get that 

out of your mind and focus on your game, really, 

and do what you can do,” reasoned Liam. 

“If they don’t win, it’s in your favour.” 

Away from the collective strife, Kitch has enjoyed 

a productive campaign in terms of his overall 

development. 


The versatile defender has made 30 Championship 

appearances while featuring a couple of times in 

the Emirates FA Cup, too, and he feels it will be 

hugely beneficial heading into next season. 

“I’ve got 30 games under my belt now, so on 

a personal level it’s been good for me to get 

experience in the Championship and, like I 


15 

say, I’m always learning and trying to improve 

myself,” he insisted. 

“As long as I’m on the pitch and learning my 

trade, it’s good. 

“I think it’ll massively benefit me. I think just 

playing games as a young player is always the 


aim and the more games you play, the more 

experienced you are. 

“This season has been a big learning curve for 

me, playing against some really high quality 

opponents and hopefully I can take that into 

next season, use the experience that I’ve gained, 

and put in some mature performances.”

Academy Interview 

TOM 

HARBAN 



ith just one game left of the 21/22 

Professional Development League 

campaign, our U18s are on the brink of 

securing a place in the play-offs for the 

very first time. 

We sat down with Tom Harban, who has 

overseen the development of our youngsters for 

the vast majority of this season prior to stepping 

up to his role in the first team, to get his thoughts 

on their success. 

What a season it has been for the under 18s. 

Did you imagine this before a ball was kicked 

at the start of the campaign? 

Yeah. I thought, with the group that we’ve got, 

that they had the potential to have a successful 

season. We started off a bit slow in terms of 

a couple of performances, like against QPR. 

Swansea was an excellent performance, but we 

didn’t get the result to match it. 

After that, we’ve done well on the whole. There’s 

been the odd one or two performances that have 

probably cost us maybe winning the league but, 

on a whole, I’m really pleased and I think the 

expectation was there from the start – not just 

in my head, but their heads as well that they 

wanted to be successful. 

18 

So, hopefully they’ll go and finish it off now. 

You mentioned the start of the season where 

you shipped nine goals in the first two games, 

but since then – barring the 5-5 draw at Crewe 

– it’s been pretty solid. 

I think a big reason for that is we’ve had a 

young backline for the majority of the season. 

You’ve got Danny Benson who’s a second year 

and then the rest have been first years in that 

defensive unit. 

So, them coming into full-time football, you kind 

of expect them to start a little bit more steady 

compared to the second years because they’re 

finding their feet in full-time football. So, over 

time, they’ve become a bit more consistent 

and understand the game a bit more, they 

understand their roles within the team. 

It’s been pleasing in that respect. 

It is a young group; I don’t think I’ve seen such a 

balance between first and second years. Does 

that only bode well for next season in terms of 

experience? 

The first years that will be the second years next 

season will only benefit from this season. You’ve 

got lads now that are getting more and more 

minutes like Josiah and Theo, who maybe didn’t 

feature as much – Luis Lacey – that have stepped 


in and have performed equally as well to the 

levels that were in previous. 

They’ve really took to the plate and staked their 

claim for the shirt and managed to keep it. So, 

hopefully they can carry on doing that now and 

for the remainder of the season. 

You just mentioned Josiah Dyer there, there’s a 

lot of hype around him because of his name. Do 

you think he feels that pressure, or does he go 

out and play with freedom? 

I think he just wants to be his own player and 

he wants to learn. He listens, he tries to put into 

practice what we’re asking him as coaches and 

the one thing that he doesn’t lack is his work ethic. 

So, in terms of that, I don’t think he plays with 

added pressure; he just wants to be the best he 

can for himself and the team. So, he’s done well 

since he’s come in. 


19 

There are a few players who’ve really excelled. 

You look at Keegan Hartley and Harrison 

Nejman, in particular – they’ve had quite a bit 

of under 23s game time as well. How impressed 

have you been with them? 

I think they’ve been excellent. Throughout the 

whole of the season, they’re playing a lot of 

football at the minute – under 18s and under 23s – 

and it’s demanding on them because they’ve got 

to learn to look after their bodies, but performancewise, 

on the whole, they’ve been excellent. 

They’ve really set the example to the rest of the 

group in terms of the day-to-day stuff and taking 

it onto the pitch on Saturday. 

Especially for Keegan, this has been a big 

season because he missed virtually the entirety 

of the previous campaign. 

I’m really pleased for Keegan because, like you 


said, he missed his full year last season. I think 

he managed to get 20 minutes or half an hour of 

the last game of the season, and those were the 

only minutes he kicked a ball. 

So, for him to get back to full fitness this year 

is full credit to him because he worked so hard 

in the gym and his rehab. As the season has 

gone on, he’s just got stronger and stronger and 

stronger, and that is showing in his performances 

for the under 18s and under 23s, which is 

pleasing. 

Another player who came back from injury 

partway through the season is Kieren Flavell. 

What have you made of his development? 

I think he’s been excellent. There was an 

expectation that he’d come back and maybe be 

a little sluggish, if you like, because he’s missed 

a lot of football, but he’s stepped right back into 

the team like he’s never been away. 


20 

He brings a bit of calm to the backline to build 

through, he’s exceptional with his feet but, again, 

he’s another one who we don’t want to take his 

foot off the gas and to keep striving and pushing 

to be better. 

From where he’s come from with his injury to 

now, he’s done really well, so fair play to him. 

How much potential has he got because he’s 

trained with England youth camps? 

He could be anything he wants to be, Kieren; he just 

has to get in his head that it’s not going to be given 

to him and that he has to work hard for everything 

he’s going to get. Potentially, like I said, he could 

do what he wants in the game and it’s ultimately 

going to be down to him how far he goes. 

There was another serious injury, this time to 

Matty Doyle at Wigan Athletic. He recently had 

his operation, how’s that gone? 


He’s obviously disappointed because he was 

another one – a young first year who played 

a lot of football for us and improved a lot since 

the start of the season to where he was against 

Wigan. 

So, it’s disappointing that his season had to end 

as it has, but he’s a big character around the 

group, so we’re trying to keep him involved as 

much as he can, and hopefully he’ll get through 

his rehab with no major issues, and we can get 

him back on the pitch as soon as possible. 

Some of the under 16s have gradually 

integrated and one of them, in particular, has 

really stood out this season – Fabio Jalo. Again, 

how far can he go because he’s played for the 

under 23s and scored, as well? 

Fabio is an exciting prospect – he’s an attacking 

player who wants to score loads of goals, so 

we’re trying to teach him the game without 


same mentality and same application to any 

game of football he’s involved in and, us as staff, 

will drum home this is how it needs to be – keep 

grounded. 

He’s not made it yet, but he’s doing very well, so 

he just needs to keep doing what he’s doing at 

the minute. 

In terms of the under 16s coming through, you 

took quite a few out to Italy with you, is it an 

exciting group? 

Yeah. I think, again, next year we’ll have a good, 

solid group of players, which will complement 

each other quite well. I think it’ll be a very attackminded 

team next year, so that will be exciting to 

see what develops from that. 

But I’m just looking forward to getting them in a 

full-time environment now and seeing how they 

cope with the demands of it, day-to-day. 

Like you say, we went to Italy for 10 days and 

some of them found it a little bit of a slog, 

physically, because of the training every day and 

playing games in quite a short period of time. But 

that’s where we need to get them to and, over 

the course of pre-season, that’s what we’ll be 

aiming to do. 

What was the overall goal from the Italy trip? 

Was it a case of team bonding and maintaining 

that match sharpness? 

21 

taking away too much of his own game. He’s 

got to find the balance now of playing for himself 

and playing for the team. 

His work ethic has been superb in the under 18s 

and he’s deserved to play in the games with 

what he’s done, goals-wise, in his own age group 

and the under 18s. 

But he’s another one who is young, so we need 

to look after him and continue to work on his 

development and understanding of the game, 

and hopefully he’ll get stronger and, hopefully, 

in the near future he’ll get opportunities moving 

forward, but he has to keep his head down and 

keep working. 

How important is it that he stays grounded and 

he’s not over-hyped, in that respect? 

It’s massive. I think, wherever he’s playing or 

whatever age group he’s in, he has to have the 


Being away from home for a long period of time, 

some of the lads hadn’t experienced that, so it 

was a case of getting their heads round that. 

I think there were one or two who suffered a 

little bit from homesickness, but it’s part of the 

professional game going away, so it’s good that 

they’ve been exposed to it. 

The main one was getting the group together 

that’s mainly going to be the group for next year. 

We took Harrison, Keegan, Danny and Kieren 

with us, and they set the example throughout 

the trip that this is what we need to be in this 

environment, and hopefully the new boys have 

learnt a lot from the trip and they hit the ground 

running when they come back in. 

How good was it for fitness because I imagine 

the endurance has built up playing in those 

sorts of temperatures? 

It was tough. The first two games were in three 

days, so to get players through them without 

picking up niggles and injuries – and we were still 

training – it was a tough experience for them. 

A massive thing to take from it, for them, is the 

recovery-side of it; the importance of sleeping, 

resting, eating right and hydrating properly, I 


think that’s been a massive learning curve for 

them over the 10 days while we were out there. 

So, hopefully, they’ve taken the messages on 

board that we’ve tried to drill into them and they 

implement them, and it’ll benefit them moving 

forward. 

How did they cope with the different styles of 

football that they came up against? 

They found it tough, I think mainly because of the 

physicality of the under 19s boys that they were 

playing – we were asking under 16s lads who are 

still at school to go and compete against these 

boys. 

But there were different styles – all three teams 

played in a different way, and we had to try and 

cope and counteract that. So, for example, the 

last game we had so much of the ball because 

they let us have it, because they were a counterattacking 

team, so that was completely new 

to our lads, having so much time and space to 

make good decisions. 

22 

Throughout the course of the game, they got 

to grips with it and played some really good 

football, so it was really beneficial in terms of 

that – playing different styles – and, again, 

really positive in terms of their learning and 

development. 

You lost all three games, were you ever worried 

coming back that that might affect them 

mentally heading into the Ipswich game, or 

were there no concerns at all? 

No. I think the way we wanted to go about 

it and give everyone as much game time as 

we could, that obviously meant changing 

things around a lot. Whether it’s from the start 

or whether it was in game, getting everyone 

involved in the game was going to disrupt 

performances. 

So, the main thing was going and experiencing 

being away from home, playing a different style. 

Results weren’t really a thing we were looking at 

while we were out there; we knew that when we 

came back, we had a big game against Ipswich, 

and that was the main goal – to come back fully 

fit and ready to go into that game with a positive 

mindset from the last league game against 

Cardiff, and we did that. 

What was that performance like against 

Ipswich? 

I thought, first half, we were excellent; we 

dominated the game, played some really good 

football and maybe should have been two or 

three up at half-time. 


I think the second half, with it being such a long 

period of time being away from home – the 

Italy trip – we looked very leggy, and the lads 

had to find a way to grind out a result, and 

they were exceptional in terms of doing that. 

Defending the box when they had to, getting 

together and being in it together to make sure 

they came away with the win. 

So, it was full credit to them on the back of what’s 

been a tough schedule, but now it’s all about 

getting rested up. We haven’t got a game on 

Saturday, so it’s getting rested up and getting 

ready for Millwall. 

The under 18s could potentially get play-offs 

this weekend without kicking a ball. Would you 

want to get play-offs that way, or would you 

rather win against Millwall to seal it that way – 

or does it not bother you? 

It doesn’t fuss me. If we get it this week, then 


23 

great, without kicking a ball. If we have to go 

and concentrate on our business and get a result 

against Millwall, then that’s what we’ll have to 

do. 

Either way, it doesn’t matter. The most important 

thing is that we do everything we can to try and 

get there, and I’m sure the lads will do everything 

they can to do that. 

The Millwall game is on the main pitch – you 

obviously won’t be in the dugout, you’ll be at 

West Brom, but are you hoping there’ll be a 

few supporters coming down and watching? 

I’d like to think so. The lads deserve a bit of 

support from how they’ve performed all season; 

they’ve been excellent and it’ll be good for the 

fans who aren’t making the trip to West Brom to 

come along and support the young boys and, 

hopefully, get them over the line if needs be, in 

terms of the play-offs. 


Over the course of the season, has there been 

one game that has stood out where you’ve 

thought that this team is going to go on and do 

well? 

I thought, if I’m honest, after the Hull City game 

where we dropped points, in terms of the top 

two, we might have been out of it. But, since that 

game, and going to Sheffield Wednesday and 

getting a really positive result, the lads have just 

had a bounce about them and a spring in their 

step. 

They’re going about the place in a confident 

manner, so I think that Sheffield Wednesday 

game, at the minute, has been a big turning 

point. 

Obviously, we went to Charlton the following 

week and beat them when they’re free-scoring 

– they won their league quite early on. So, 

hopefully, we’ve got one more big push to get 


24 

there if needs be if it’s not done at the weekend, 

and I’m sure they’ll do everything they can to do 

it. 

We know we’re going to be in League One next 

season. Are there any of these under 18s who 

could potentially be involved, do you think? 

I’d like to think so. There’s some good players 

in that group – you obviously don’t have good 

teams without good players, and I think, on the 

whole from what I’ve seen, they’ve been one of 

the better teams at their own age group. 

Physically, they’ve got work to do to get around 

the first team, but in terms of their ability with a 

football, we’ve got players in there who can go 

and push to be around that first team set-up, 

and hopefully they do that. 


Historically, this is a club that does offer 

opportunities. You look at Matty Wolfe who 

is in the first team, Joe Ackroyd and Aiden 

Marsh have made their debuts this season. 

Can the young lads use that as inspiration and 

see there is a chance if they put their minds to 

it? 

They need to. As long as they’ve seen people 

get opportunities, I think that has to be a driving 

force to push on and try and get to that point 

where, not only are they making debuts, but 

they’re trying to get in on a regular basis, like 

Matty has done this season. 

It’s brilliant for them that they can see the 

pathway, but it’s up to them to push themselves 

forward into the reckoning.

UNSUNG 

HEROES 

Neil Richardson 

28 

ome might call it a modern injustice, 

others see the unsung hero as 

a typically good old British way 

of knuckling down for the cause 

without fanfare; something which seems to 

be of huge value to our little island. 

Many have been posthumously recognised 

for their contributions, albeit too late in some 

people’s eyes. 

Alan Turing, the man credited with breaking 

the enigma code in WWII and ultimately 

turning the tide in the favour of the allies. Never 

recognised when he was alive due to the 

classified nature of his work, disgraced due to 

archaic laws, the Queen officially recognised 

him in 2013, some 61 years after he died. 

Peter Taylor, Brian Clough’s not-so famous 

assistant who is generally considered to be 

the man that looked after the football while 

Cloughie did the man management. With 

league championships, league cups and 

European cups on his CV, he will always be 

recognised as a number 2. 

Murdoch from the A-Team, Howling Mad as 

he was known, they had to break him out of 

the veteran’s hospital every time someone 

found them when no one else could help. 

We all wanted to be BA, we wanted to drive 

Face Man’s Corvette and make a plan like 

Hannibal, but without a spiked glass of milk 

and Murdoch’s skills as a pilot, they’d have 

not got anywhere fast. 

And so that brings me to………. 

THE 1912 CUP FINAL WINNING SQUAD 

The crowd that assembled to watch the 

1912 FA Cup Final was some 15–20,000 

smaller than previous years but they still 

filled the ground and there was little spare 

space. Some spectators took to the trees 

around the ground and a group of WBA 

supporters tried to launch a blue and 

white striped hot air ballon but it burned 

before it left the ground. This failed stunt 

became a metaphor for a game that 

also failed to rise to meet the spectators 

expectations. 

Very much on the back foot throughout 

the match, our lads had to dig deep, 

defend well and play a game that would 

not only match the West Brom attack, but 



29 

to also try and nick a goal in the process. 

WBA had a couple of chances early 

in the first half when Jack Cooper, the 

Barnsley goalkeeper, fumbled a shot from 

Baddeley but he did not have any support. 

Cooper was again tested when Jephcott 

centred the ball several times but again 

WBA did not press home the advantage. 

Barnsley had similar problems exploiting 

an advantage when Harry Tufnell and Wilf 

Bartrop got through unmarked on the right 

wing. 

The third drawn FA Cup Final in as many 

years drew aggravated comments from the 

departing crowds. But it was the replay at 

Bramall Lane that would see us run out as 

winners following a last minute extra time 

winner from Tufnell. It was Bartrop who 

would get the Manchester Guardian man 

of the match award. Sadly, Wilf would have his 

life cut short after succumbing to the horrors of 

the great war, just four days before the fighting 

ceased. Jimmy Moore lived to the ripe old age 

of 80 and was the last of the cup winners to 

pass away in 1972. 

Sadly, all good things come to end, with this 

being my last regular column for the matchday 

programme. I’ve written for six seasons now 

and the time is right to pass on the baton. I’m 

hoping to return periodically for any special 

artwork or articles that need a fan’s eye view. 

Here’s to next season, then. While 

disappointment is obviously on everyone’s 

mind after suffering relegation, some of my 

best recent memories have been in League 

One…every cloud.

Today's opposition 

PRESTON 

NORTH END 



36 

t has been a very consistently 

inconsistent Sky Bet Championship 

campaign for this afternoon’s final 

visitors to Oakwell during this 21/22 

season. 

North End come into this penultimate fixture 

having won 14 games, they’ve lost the same 

amount and have racked up 16 draws. Nobody 

has drawn more matches in the division this 

term, although they’ve only done so once in 

their last seven fixtures. 

They have been defeated in their previous two 

games. Beaten soundly - 4-1 - at Deepdale by 

local rivals Blackburn Rovers on Monday, and 

prior to that, seen off 3-0, away at Fulham. The 

‘new manager bounce’ that Ryan Lowe brought 

upon his appointment back in December, after 

replacing Frankie McAvoy soon dissipated. 

On the road, they’ve not won in their last 

five outings. But they did see off the Reds in 

what was Lowe’s first game in charge, back 

in December. In a game that was pretty even 

in the main, the Reds, who’d levelled the clash 

through Cauley Woodrow surrendered the 

game as we approached the last 10 minutes, 


as Daniel Johnson won it at Deepdale, taking 

advantage of poor Barnsley defending of a setplay. 

A common theme, sadly. 

But we did edge this fixture here at Oakwell 

last term, coming from behind to nick a 2-1 

home win when both Alex Mowatt and Victor 

Adeboyejo scored delightful second half efforts. 


37 

That is, however, our only home win in this 

fixture in the last 10 years. 

There are three very familiar faces in the PNE 

squad visiting Oakwell this afternoon. Defenders 

Liam Lindsay and Bambo Diaby are joined by 

midfielder Brad Potts, who all had recent spells 

here in South Yorkshire. 


Whilst up front, we’ve chosen the evergreen 

Chef Evans as North End’s danger man. The 

former Manchester City man has scored against 

the Reds in the past on a number of occasions 

but has gone 20 games without a goal, 

stretching back to November of last year. 


The Lilywhites Manager 

RYAN LOWE 

38 

he 43-year-old had a fine playing career 

as a regular goalscoring striker in the lower 

leagues with the likes of Bury, Tranmere 

Rovers and Sheffield Wednesday. Notching 

over 200 goals in a near-20-year career as a nononsense 

forward, the Liverpudlian would hang up 

his shooting boots four years ago now. 

Having retired as a player at Bury, he took up the 

managerial role in 2018 and would guide the Shakers 

to promotion from League Two. That success and 

Bury’s continuing financial problems saw the up-andcoming 

coach poached by Plymouth Argyle, but it 

meant another season in the fourth tier. 

It wasn’t to be for long, though, as he then 

immediately led the Pilgrims to promotion in a season 

that was impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. 

Unfortunately, the first year back in tier three behindclosed-doors 

didn’t go as smoothly, registering an 

18th placed finish. But this season saw a real flourish 

in form once again, some terrific performances and 

results, and Argyle were fourth in the table when he 

took the role with this afternoon’s opposition. 

And up until the last couple of months, it had been 

a fairly impressive start to life at Deepdale for the 

former Liverpool academy graduate. Lowe was 

particularly scathing about his side’s performance in 

their defeat against Blackburn Rovers last time out, 

describing it as the ‘worst’ since his appointment, 

going down 4-1 against the Ewood Park outfit.

OPPOSITION CORNER 

by Matt Whiley 

Jack Tucker is a regular visitor to Deepdale, and he hopes to be in the crowd here at Oakwell this 

afternoon. We spoke to him to get the lowdown on our opponents today. 

What have you made of the season so 

far? 

It's been a very up and down season 

for the club. It's only when we hired 

Ryan Lowe in December when the 

season took a turn for the better 

as we look like a much better 

side compared to under Frankie 

McAvoy. Whilst it's not been the 

most ideal season, a lot of fans 

including myself will be left with a lot 

more hope for next season. 


Were you happy with the January 

transfer business and have the new 

players had the desired effect? 

I was very happy with the January 

transfer window; we didn't need to 

change too much as Ryan Lowe 

wants to see the squad until the 

end of the season so he has a better 

idea of what changes need to be 

made. 

However, Cameron Archer, who is on loan 


41 

from Aston Villa, has undoubtedly been one of 

the best moves in the league – a youngster who 

is hungry, and knows where the back of the net is. 

He has been a breath of fresh air. 

Another who has been impressive is Bambo 

Diaby – who will be familiar to Barnsley fans. He 

has stepped up when called upon and he often 

looks like he has a point to prove. Hopefully he 

gets himself an extension on his current deal. 

Who would you say have been the best firstteam 

performers this season? 

Daniel Iversen, Ben Whiteman, and Andrew 

Hughes have been the best for me. If I had to pick 

one, however, it would have to be Iversen as every 

week he just gets better and makes you think he's 

too good for this league – he's a freak of nature. 

Are there any highly-rated young players who 

have made a name for themselves this season? 

As mentioned before, Archer is certainly backing 

up the praise from his parent club. 


His on-the-ball ability is immense, he knows 

where the net is, and plays with a maturity 

beyond his years whilst maintaining the 'rawness' 

needed to be a success at this level. He's 

going to go far. 

What do you think the club needs to do over 

the summer and into next season to progress 

from this point? 

We need to back Ryan Lowe. He clearly has a 

plan and it's down to the owners to back him as 

we do need to replace the outgoings which there 

are a number of. 

We have a lot of positions to buy for but, in 

particular, I want to see a goalkeeper come 

in (preferably break the bank for Iversen), 

and a right wing-back along with a couple of 

centre-backs, and a striker or two. We have the 

foundations of a play-off challenging squad; we 

just need to add the last few pieces of the puzzle.

MANAGING TO SUCCEED 


Football historian LEIGH EDWARDS profiles ten leading Blackpool managers 

42 

WILL SCOTT 

Will Scott managed Preston to the Second 

Division title in 1950-51. A former player with 

South Shields, he followed Jimmy Lawrence 

to Preston as trainer in January 1923 and was 

secretary at Deepdale from March 1941 until 

becoming Blackburn Rovers' manager April 

1947. He stayed just eight months at Ewood 

Park until ill health forced his resignation but 

recovered and rejoined Preston as manager in 

June 1949. Signing Willie Cunningham, Tommy 

Docherty and Eddie Quigley, he left in March 

1953 and North End were pipped to the League 

Championship on goal average in 1952-53. He 

was later Sunderland's assistant-boss. 

SCOT SYMON 

Ex-Scotland international wing-half Scot 

Symon steered Preston to the 1954 FA Cup 

final. He impressed with Dundee before joining 

Portsmouth in August 1935. Moving to Glasgow 

Rangers in August 1938, he starred in their 1938- 

39 Scottish League title triumph and became 

East Fife's manager in July 1947. He led them to 

promotion in 1947-48, two Scottish League Cup 

wins and the 1950 Scottish Cup final. Managing 

Preston between March 1953 and June 1954, he 

returned to Rangers as boss, taking them to six 

Scottish League titles as well as nine Cup final 

triumphs. He then managed Partick Thistle and 

died in April 1985. 

CLIFF BRITTON 

Ex-England international right-half Cliff Britton 

managed Preston to League Championship 

runners-up in 1957-58. Initially with Bristol 

Rovers, he moved to Everton in June 1930 and 

featured in their 1933 FA Cup final success. He 


was appointed Burnley's manager in October 

1945 and led them to promotion and the FA Cup 

final in 1946-47. Rejoining Everton as boss in 

September 1948, he plotted promotion in 1953- 

54 and became Preston's boss in August 1956. 

He took them to third in the top-flight in 1956-57 

but resigned in April 1961. Later managing Hull 

City's 1965-66 Third Division title triumph, he died 

in December 1975. 

JIMMY MILNE

135 YEARS, 135 FANS, 

£135 REFUNDS 

To help commemorate our 135th anniversary, we are delighted to introduce a new 

refund scheme for the ‘Through it all’ campaign. 

With 17 weeks until the start of the 22/23 campaign, from Wednesday 6 April until Sunday 

31 July, eight supporters each week will receive money back from the season ticket spend! 

Here’s how it will work: 

For the next 17 weeks (week commencing 3 April ’22 – 24 July ’22), the Club will host a 

draw whereby eight lucky supporters will receive a significant amount of money back 

from their 22/23 season ticket spend. 

• Those who have paid either adult, senior or young adult 19-21 rates will receive a £135 

refund. 

• U19 will receive a full refund on their ticket. 

• U14 tickets must be purchased alongside an adult, senior or young adult ticket so the 

linked supporter would receive the £135 refund. 

Fans who have purchased a 22/23 season ticket within the first week of sales will be 

automatically enrolled into all 17 draws, unless they win. Those who purchase a season 

ticket later in the campaign will only be entered to the later draws – meaning the earlier 

you purchase a ticket, the better the chance of winning money back. 

Draws will be made every Friday afternoon. Winners are to be contacted by their chosen 

method of communication, with a list also published and updated on our website.

Guest Column 

BARRY 

MURPHY 



nfortunately, there’s only one place 

to begin and that’s with Tuesday 

evening’s defeat to Blackpool. It’s 

hard to say anything positive about 

the game; it was very disappointing, and 

I thought they looked like a much better 

team than we did, and that hurt. 

Obviously, with the changes that we made to 

the team – with the loan players going back 

to their parent clubs – I can understand that, 

but the application of some of the players is 

what was the most disappointing. 

Blackpool looked sharper than we did, and 

you could tell that they’ve had a few good 

results recently and we haven’t. 

54 

It won’t have helped that Martin only took 

over a couple of days before the game; he 

didn’t have a lot of time with the players to 

get his point across. So, it was very difficult for 

the lad and for Tom as well. 

But it’s not on the one game; it’s over the 

whole season, and it just hasn’t been good 

enough. 

This is our final home game of the campaign, 

and you always want to finish on a high if you 

can. It’s about going out there and putting 

a performance in for the supporters, and 

hopefully we’ll see them down at West Brom 

next weekend as well – which is another tough 

one; they’re all tough in the Championship. 

Preston will be the same as Blackpool; they’re 

halfway up the league and are playing well, 

but it’s important that we finish well for the 

supporters’ sake. 

I keep mentioning the supporters, but they’ve 

followed us through thick and thin – as they 

have done all season, and they deserve 

something for all the disappointment. 

Pre-season will be important, especially 

for the younger players, because this is an 

opportunity to bring them through. Jasper 

Moon and Matty Wolfe have had a lot of 

game time this season, which will only be 

beneficial, and Aiden Marsh and Joe Ackroyd 

are looking promising. 


I must say, when Aiden came on on Tuesday 

night, I thought he looked bright and seems 

like he has a real chance. He’s a local lad and, 

in my opinion, they need introducing now and 

again, and we’ll have a chance to try that next 

season. 

We’ve got a great opportunity to try these 

players in League One, and Martin and Tom 

will know the quality of these youngsters 

who are coming through at U23s and U18s 

level. 


55 

I just mentioned the U18s, who are enjoying a 

fantastic campaign. You don’t get to the playoffs 

without a team of good players, which 

is exciting for the club. They’ve got a great 

opportunity to potentially win the league, 

and I hope they can do it, because it’ll be 

marvellous for them! 

Enjoy the game this afternoon, hopefully I see 

you all here next season!
