Head To Head:

Barnsley are winless for 30 years at Scunthorpe- 32 in the league and have lost four of their five trips to Glanford Park, including the last two.

Barnsley and Scunthorpe met three times last season, with the two sides cancelling each other out in a 1-1 draw at Oakwell in December. Hugo Colace had given The Reds the lead in the 53^rd minute, before ex Red Paul Hayes equalised just five minutes later.

Unfortunately that was not the last we would see from Hayes as he also netted in two Glanford Park meetings in early 2010. Two days into the New Year, the sides were paired together in the FA Cup Third Round, with Hayes grabbing the only goal after 68 minutes.

The only respite the Reds have gained from their trips to Scunthorpe’s 9,088 capacity home arrived on New Year’s Day 2008. At the time Scunthorpe were winless at home since mid September but were 2-0 up thanks to goals just before and just after half-time from Ian Morris and Kelly Youga. A wonderful half-volley from Grant McCann after his initial free kick had been blocked brought Barnsley back into the game with 15 minutes to play, and in the SEVENTH minute of stoppage time, Andy Crosby handled in his own area allowing Brian Howard to coolly chip home the spot kick.

Barnsley’s last victory at Scunthorpe came whilst the team played at their Old Showground home. The Reds won 1-0 in their League Cup First Round First leg tie in 1980, before winning the second leg 2-1 at Oakwell. Their last league victory in the Lincolnshire town arrived two years previous, winning 1-0 in September 1979.

Last Season/This Season:

Scunthorpe United have made a decent start to their second season back in the Championship but were rocked by the departure of manager Nigel Adkins to Southampton just over two weeks ago. The 45 year old former physio had twice led the club into the Championship and managed to keep them up last season despite having virtually no money to spend. Iron chairman Steve Wharton once again decided to keep the managerial position in house and appointed Adkins’s first team coach Ian Baraclough on a caretaker basis. The former Scunthorpe defender made a blistering start, winning his first match 4-0 at Sheffield United! The Iron lost the next two matches, 2-0 at Swansea and 5-2 at home to Manchester United in the Carling Cup, but Baraclough was handed the reigns permanently on Friday 24^th September and in his first permanent match in charge, he earned a credible 1-1 home draw with promotion challengers Ipswich.

Scunthorpe have a shaky record at their Glanford Park home this season having won just once- 3-0 against Crystal Palace in August- and lost two of their four matches.

Barnsley are searching for their first away win in 12 since a quick fire Daniel Bogdanovic brace earned a 2-0 success at Cardiff in February. Only bottom placed Leicester City have conceded more away than The Reds this season and their home form is the complete opposite of their away record. The Reds have won three and drawn one at Oakwell, but away from home they have drawn one and lost three. They haven’t kept a clean sheet on their travels since a 0-0 draw at Sheffield United in April.
