Barnsley v Rovers...

Can't wait just finally managed to get through to the ticket office and got my tickets, hopefully a good show on friday against palace will spur the lads on against out friends down the road...i would happily take a point which would give us safety..i will go for 1-1...and i will leave a very happy easter bunny...

Yep i am not going to this game but thats too far ahead this game after Friday hopefully i will be looking forward to it

Latest ticket sales...lets hope we shift a few in the last couple of days before they are taken of sale, the palace ticket giveaway has probably delayed people getting theirs..

Will you be looking forward to coming to Oakwell if you lose Friday?? Personally i think/hope we beat you 3-1 i want us to end ther season well for a change!!

It's only a matter of time before our luck changes, we've been playing some good football, our luck just hasn't been the best... We continue playing like we are and the wins will come...

Yes i will, despite all the piss taking we have i really do enjoy my visits to oakwell...

Think we'll get beat due to Donkey Rovers extra rest day

The excuses have started and were not even kicked off yet

Can't wait for this game now, still can't see us scoring so keeping a clean sheet is the best i can hope for, am surprised we have not had the police warning like last time telling rovers supporters to keep out of the town centre..

Yep and if we was to go down there would be our problem and only thing to blame for it is scoring

C'mon then Nightmare, wheres the best places for a drink, was thinking of heading into the town centre ...not wearing colours for this one...

Fecking Brilliant the nerves have just kicked in again for tomorrow's game time for a whisky

Calm yoursen.... ...i am confident we will get at least a point...

Plenty of places in town for a drink if your not wearing colours, Avoid Chambers, Blah bar and Groggers and you should be fine.

Barnsley players seem to be on their summer holidays already so i'm no longer to optimistic...... saying that i have to go for my favourite scoreline of Barnsley 3-1 Donny!!

I wish i was going now nevermind

Thanks for that, not wearing colours so am looking forward to popping into the town centre, usually go to the metrodome...hopefully we will get something from the game although we have the same problem..someone actually putting it in the back of the net...hopefully other results will go our way and we can relax and enjoy what is left of a horrible season...

Team news for Monday's Championship clash between Barnsley and Doncaster at Oakwell.

Barnsley manager Mark Robins could make changes.

Robins' side appeared laboured as they lost 1-0 against Watford on Saturday in what was a typical end-of-season encounter between two teams with little to play for.

A clash with Rovers will provide much of the same for Robins' men and the manager looks set to freshen things up with several players vying for recalls.

Reuben Noble-Lazarus looked lively after coming off the bench against the Hornets and is pushing for a start, as is defender Bobby Hassell.

Defender Luke Potter remains sidelined with a knee problem that has kept him out since November and Alastair Taylor is also out with an unspecified injury.

Doncaster look set to be without Mustapha Dumbuya.

The defender made his first start since the beginning of April in the goalless draw against Crystal Palace on Good Friday, but was withdrawn in the final 15 minutes after suffering a recurrence of his hamstring injury.

Dumbuya is rated as "touch and go" by manager Sean O'Driscoll so Shelton Martis, who came on as Dumbuya's replacement at the Keepmoat, is on standby to start.

Striker Billy Sharp is in a race to be fit before the end of the season following hernia surgery, but centre-half Adam Lockwood is making good progress after a knee operation.

But fellow defender James Chambers (knee) and midfield duo Martin Woods (hip) and Paul Keegan (knee) are all unlikely to feature again this term.

I hope Robins does start RNL!! Bobby Hassle back in at reyt back and Trippier Reyt wing!!
