Their stunning win at promotion hopefuls Brentford on Wednesday, July 22, will live long in the memory, the only downside being that Reds fans were not there at Griffin Park to bask in the occasion along with the players and coaching staff, the 2-1 triumph enough to lift Gerhard Struber’s team out of the bottom three.

Leon Wobschall joins Phil Harrison to discuss ‘the great escape’ - Wigan Athletic’s appeal against a 12-point deduction is still to be determined - and what needs to happen during the close season to ensure Barnsley avoid a similar scare next year and establish themselves on a much firmer footing in the second tier.
