After suffering relegation from the Championship earlier this year, it was always going to be intriguing to see how Barnsley would fare during the opening months of the current campaign.

The Reds opted to hand over the reins at Oakwell to Michael Duff who bolstered his squad by securing the services of a host of players in the summer transfer window.
