Jeremy Simpson will be the man in the middle when Swansea City travel to face Barnsley in the Championship on Saturday (7.45pm). Here we see him protesting to a shopkeeper after being accused of stealing five fruit salad chews. Later it was revealed it wasn’t him but his wife Mrs Simpson who now lives with a bloke called Edward.
Nothing to do with me guv, Jeremy reiterating he doesn’t like fruit salad chews
History
Apart from the play offs penalty shoot out in 2006, in front of 37,418 Swansea City fans in Cardiff - Barnsley haven’t beaten Swansea in Fifteen games stretching back to November 1983. Barnsley won that day 3-2. The last time the clubs met was at the Liberty only 29 days prior to this reverse fixture, the swans won 2-0 with Jamal Lowe scoring after two minutes. You could say the swans gave Barnsley a walkabout that day.
Dickies Bird
Famous white coat, butcher lookalike apron wearing Richard Bird is a native of Barnsley, he is a British nationalist who is a huge supporter of the Union of Britain. He once headed a group of 200 people asking Scotland to remain British before the Scotland devolution vote. Harold Dennis Bird would have been proud had he not been the same person. Dickie never married using the excuse he was married to cricket. Now at the age of 109 and locked down in the Oval with only his dodgy wrist and a potato peeler Dickie may well be having second thoughts.
Dickie giving it the finger, not once has he visited a ladies part with that digit
A Barnsley did you know ?
Did you know that the World famous Arctic Monkeys studied at Barnsley College? As did the 1990s band The Darkness. The heavy metal band Saxon started their rock carrier playing in the local pubs of Barnsley before hitting the big time and becoming one of the most famous bands in the world. Black comedian Charlie Williams (1928—2006) was born in Barnsley, he was an ex-professional footballer and stand-up genius. Harry Worth (1917—1989), actor, comedian and ventriloquist was also from Barnsley, wore a hat and did odd things in shop windows, invented the fart.
Barnsley were once likened by their fans as ‘just like watching Brasil’ This was when they were in the premier league. Alan Brazil, the overweight and indulgent Talk Sport host is a larger than life beetroot. Just for the record.

Coronation Street is filmed in the dales of Yorkshire, when it was called Emmerdale Farm people used to go and watch episodes being filmed, it was always very blustery and windy hence the term ‘Blowing a Gail’ This term was often used by people watching the filming.

Barnsley latest
It could also be the first chance to see new signings Liam Kitching and Carlton Morris. Both recruits were cup-tied last weekend but could well be in contention for the visit of Swansea on Saturday evening.
Key Threat
Woodrow has been a consistent scorer for Barnsley ever since joining from Fulham, and it has proved the case again this term with the striker having 10 goals in all competitions, while also weighing in with four assists. Captain Mowatt has chipped in with four goals from midfield, plus two assists, while the lovely Conor Chaplin also carries a threat in the final third. Wing-back Callum Styles, meanwhile, has excelled after making his breakthrough following lockdown last year.
Team news
Barnsley: Jack Walton, Callum Styles, Mads Andersen, Callum Brittain, Herbie Kane, Cauley Woodrow, Conor Chaplin, Michael Sollbauer, Alex Mowatt (captain), Victor Adeboyejo, Michal Helik.
Substitutes: Carlton Morris, Luke Thomas, Patrick Schmidt, Tom Sibbick, Romal Palmer, Clarke Oduor, Dominik Frieser, Jasper Moon, Ben Collins.
Swansea City: Freddie Woodman; Kyle Naughton, Ben Cabango, Marc Guehi; Connor Roberts, Korey Smith, Jay Fulton, Matt Grimes (captain), Jake Bidwell; Jamal Lowe, Andre Ayew.
Substitutes: Ben Hamer, Ryan Manning, Wayne Routledge, Liam Cullen, Yan Dhanda, Joel Latibeaudiere, George Byers, Oli Cooper, Jordon Garrick.
Referee: Jeremy Simpson
Kyle Naughton - having returned from a side strain against Stevenage in the FA Cup - starts a league game for the first time since the defeat at Derby before Christmas.
He comes in at the expense of Ryan Manning in the only change to the side that started that victory over the Hornets.
New signing Ben Hamer is named among the substitutes following his move from Huddersfield.
Freddie Woodman starts in goal, with Naughton joining Marc Guehi and Ben Cabango in the Swans back three.
Connor Roberts and Jake Bidwell take the wing-back roles, while Korey Smith, captain Matt Grimes and Jay Fulton will once again form the midfield unit.
In-form forwards Jamal Lowe and Andre Ayew are partnered together in attack, while Joel Latibeaudiere is fit enough for a place on the bench after recovering from a calf injury.

We have such a sexy balance in the middle. The envy of many no doubt. |

Averagely ?
I understand your point but that was a 10 out of 10 defensive and goalkeeping performance. It was a thoroughly professional calculated effort throughout albeit for the neutral a poor quality game and 4 out of 10 for entertainment value. | |

Any shouts for Dhanda ?
No way would any sane manager stick the luxurious Dhanda into our mix.
Dhanda £3m??, go get it Winter |
Dhanda just might have got it down, controlled it and started a passing movement. A rare treat in a game that could have graced League 2. Still we won, which is the important thing, so we’ll put it down to the horrible pitch. |  | | |

Ugly ? Really ?
It was a thoroughly controlled defensive display, dogged, fit and highly confident belief in one another.
An enjoyable 2-0 away win for me, in so many ways. | |

Exactly and thrown it out to Ayew all in one movement, could have got a 3rd then. Needs dropping to be honest. | | | |

Excellent post on SCFC2. Trust the poster won’t mind me repeating most of it here:
“ Good win.
Table looking healthy.
But would be so much better if I could love my team rather than merely respect them.
I'm not budging one bit from what I said a few weeks ago - if we get promoted playing like this, we'll be straight back down at a rate of knots.
If you can't retain the ball at Barnsley in the second tier, then you're going to be mincemeat most weeks in the top flight.
Sorry if that offends people or you don't want to hear it after a win that consolidates 2nd place in the table, but it's true I'm afraid.”
My thoughts exactly. | | | |

Wouldn't disagree.
You got the sense under Rodgers that our style of play could be adapated and enhanced to achieve survival. Cooperball thus far seems geared to little more than getting enough points to go up.
It's possible that in the event of promotion he can rejig things enough to win survival in 2021/22 tho. |  |

Fair points & I wasn’t complaining, if anything tough conditions & workman like opponents suit us as we have a very strong back line, central midfielders who know their roles & can stay on point very effectively plus Mr Lowe is a real threat in his current run of form.
It will be interesting to see how we manage against more attacking/skilled sides - Blackburn as a starter for 10 but I’m thinking more about Norwich, Brentford & Bournemouth. | | | |

Some of the EPL games haven't been so pretty this season but I'd expect us to do a "Cardiff" anyway, as in not spend much, not increase the wage bill much and see what happens. That would be get relegated, probably, and take the money and go again, trying to build slowly.
On the game itself, it wasn't a night for great football but we worked very hard, we defended very well from front to back, Woodman made a great save and whether or not Lowe was actually offside, he worked very hard, didn't give up and took his one real chance very well.
What's not to like? As others have said (well Trunds on sky) last season we may well have lost that because we could do pretty but we couldn't win battles. We're a different animal this season, we can play AND we can fight. | |

Don't hugely disagree, but what's the alternative? Pass thr ball more and lose games which could easily have happened tonight. Our choice to play the way we did paid off.
We do play good football when appropriate - see Reading and Watford. Its horses for courses. No team ever got promoted by playing beautiful football every game they won. |  |
