One win and you're promoted to the Championship. Michael Duff's team saved themselves in the last few weeks of the season. Although of course they were able to cope with a small phase of weakness with a large gap to the non-playoff places. In the end, it was still ten points ahead of Derby County, in 7th place. It was also five points to Bolton, who finished just behind Barnsley. Still, they have only been able to win two of the past seven games. Including the important 1-0 in the second leg against Bolton Wanderers. Particularly against the top teams in League One such as Ipswich Town or Peterborough, Barnsley lose both games without scoring a goal. The mood in the Owls camp should be completely different. Sheffield lost the first leg 0-4 against Peterborough. But in the second leg after 90 minutes it was 4-0 again this time to Wednesday. After 120 minutes Daren Moore's swaps goals with the guests and the game end in 5:1 for the home side. In the penalty shootout, the third-place finisher of the regular season kept better their nerves. Barnsley has only won 2 of his last 7 games and after this famous twist Sheffield seems to be in better position.
