Were Barnsley truly ready to be promoted back to the Championship? The honest answer is no. Their supporters knew it and critically, those in the corridors of power will have known it deep down as well. Yes, the Reds’ play-off semi-final elimination at Bolton on Tuesday possessed elements of pain that you normally associate with such occasions and there was disappointment after winning the battle, but losing the two-match War of the Roses.
Retaining a strong core of leading players to eventually construct something sustainable in a Championship which is getting more competitive by the season is not the Barnsley way. Their true passion is in player development and recruitment as opposed to incremental improvement in the table, like clubs such as Luton and Coventry. That is the bottom line. In terms of the defence, the Reds have not been good enough for a good while.
