Those four 1-1’s coupled with a 0-0 stalemate at Millwall means The Reds have now drawn each of their last five league matches and the last time they did that was..... 1996-1997- the year they won promotion to the Premier League. Ironically that is also the last time Barnsley were still unbeaten away from home by this stage of the season- It took until the eighth away game to lose that year. Amazingly Jacob Butterfield is the first Barnsley player to score in two successive games since another Jacob- Mellis- netted against Leicester and Ipswich in February.
