Barnsley face a trip to Plymouth Argyle at Home Park on Saturday evening, needing to turn around their fortunes at the ground. The Tykes will be hoping to improve upon a record which has seen them lose 15 and win only 3 of the 26 games.
The most recent encounter between these two sides was less than a year ago, in March 2003, where the two sides shared the spoils courtesy of a 1 - 1 final scoreline in a League Division Two match.
