BARNSLEY head coach Darrell Clarke has confirmed that Barry Cotter and Donovan Pines are both in contention for Tuesday night’s League One home game against Wycombe Wanderers at Oakwell.

BRADFORD City manager Graham Alexander admits he sees plenty of himself as a player in captain Richie Smallwood - ahead of his milestone 500th competitive appearance as a professional.

Sheffield United v Swansea City WHEN it comes to goalkeepers, Chris Wilder and the late, great Brian Clough are on the same wavelength.

Bristol City v Sheffield Wednesday IN the first half of last season, Sheffield Wednesday’s numbers on the road were pretty atrocious.

THE mood music at Barnsley home games is not harmonious at the minute and Darrell Clarke has no issue whatsoever with the angst prevalent among supporters.

BARNSLEY head coach Darrell Clarke says that he is playing it ‘cautious’ regarding the fitness of key midfielder and top-scorer Adam Phillips, with the midfielder having been affected by a toe injury which forced him to miss the midweek League One game with Wycombe Wanderers.

HUDDERSFIELD Town head coach Michael Duff insists that his time at weekend opponents Barnsley is a period that he will continue to cherish – despite the bad feeling generated among sections of Reds supporters following his abrupt departure to Swansea City in the summer of 2023.

DURING his time at Bradford City, Graham Alexander has been impressed by how one of his young forwards in Bobby Pointon has gone about his business.

WHEN Michael Duff said that he was ‘all in’ after being unveiled as Huddersfield Town head coach back in mid-May, there was collective rolling of eyes on the other side of the Emley Moor mast.

A DERBY day at the John Smith’s Stadium should be right up the street of two Yorkshire lads and redoubtable centre-halves in former FC Halifax Town team-mates Marc Roberts and Matty Pearson.
