We've no reason to fear them. Being a derby makes it impossible to predict. We may school them, we may well lose and they'll tell us for years that Sharp is rubbish, O'Conell is overrated etc as they like to do without realising how moronic that makes them sound. If we win, great, if we lose, hey ho, I REALLY don't think it's anything like as big a deal as it could have been in other seasons. Can anyone SERIOUSLY not come up with any retorts to South Barnsley fans at work taking into account current situations? It's 3 points dropped but winning at West Brom has given us a bit of leeway to slip up against a lesser team. As long as we demonstrate bouncebackability against Rotherham etc and keep playing the way we have been, who cares if we finish in the top two 24 points above South Barnsley but lost to them 2-0 in our trip back in time to the Rust Bucket in early March? It won't matter one iota. The gap is evident and they should mind it.
We should approach this with a positive mindset. Look at how we've been playing. Look at the improvements in our squad. Look at the improvements in performance levels of players like Johnson, Cranie and my player of the season Stevens in the last three months and enjoy the occasion (possibly!).
What will be will be.
