Barnsley have won just one of their last six league matches, losing four.
The Reds scoring run also ended yesterday, they had previously scored in each of their last 12 league games.
The Reds have now lost five Boxing Day games in a row
Yesterday’s defeat was Barnsley’s 10th in League One this season. It is the first time they have lost 10 at this level before the New Year since 2002-2003. That season- again like this, their first following relegation- they survived dropping again by just four points.
Preston had 20 shots on goal yesterday, the joint most Barnsley have faced in the league this season.
