Huddersfield 2-2 Barnsley

Beckford 53
Scotland 74
Vaughan 81
One of the most memorable days in Barnsley’s recent history saw them gain the point needed to remain in the Championship.
Chris O’Grady had given Barnsley the lead before Jermaine Beckford equalised. Jason Scotland tapped in from a few yards out to put The Reds back in front but it looked like James Vaughan’s deflected effort nine minutes from time had consigned Barnsley to League One football after seven years but Crystal Palace’s 89th minute winner against Peterborough sent the Posh down and ensured Barnsley survived by a point.

Ford 70
Quite possibly the only defeat nobody associated with Barnsley Football Club cared about. A week earlier there had been wild celebrations in South Yorkshire as a 2-0 win over Bradford sent The Reds into the top flight for the first time in their history. The players were clearly still feeling the effects of the celebration as they were soundly beaten by an Oxford side who had won only one of their seven games leading into this.
