Barnsley have gone six home league games without a win (five of which have ended in defeat) their longest run since they failed to win any of their final five of 2013-2014 and their first of the 2014-2015
Yesterday was their sixth home defeat of the season, no League One team has lost more.
The Reds have conceded the first goal in each of their past SEVEN Oakwell matches and have been behind at half time in each of the last five.
Barnsley will spend Christmas Day in a relegation zone for first time since 2012 and only the third time in 18 years (2015, 2012, 1997)
Barnsley failed to register a single shot on target. The first time this has happened since a 2-0 home defeat to Sheffield United in April.
Captain Alfie Mawson was dropped to the bench today. He had played every minute of every game this season before that.
Barnsley have gone 16 games in all competitions without a clean sheet, their worst run since they went a whopping 25 without a shut out between 31st August 2002 and the 18th January 2003.
Barnsley have now conceded 38 league goals this season, only Colchester have conceded more- 55.
