Saturday's saw academy teenager Robert Atkinson make his debut off the subs' bench at just 16.

He was an unused sub against Peterborough a five days earlier.

He missed out on being Barnsley's youngest ever player by less than a few days.

That remains Alan Ogley aged 16 and 226 days who played against Bristol Rovers in the old Third Division in 1962.
