Barnsley pack their bags to visit Derby County at Pride Park on Saturday afternoon, and have come away with little in previous meetings, having been beaten a depressing 17 out of 26 times.
The previous match played between the two at Pride Park was within the last three years, in November 2006, the Rams carving out a narrow 2 - 1 victory in a Championship match.
