This is a game featuring two sides both on a downward slope and for that reason, both managers will see it as a must-win fixture. Having started the season well, Barnsley are on a real downer and Mark Robins will be hoping that his side can bounce back from recent poor form and improve on their position of 17th. Hull meanwhile have been relatively poor all season and Nigel Pearson must be wondering just what he has to do to lift his Tigers side from 19th place.
Barnsley are a side always tipped for the drop, probably due to the small budget the Yorkshire club operate under. That meant that when Mark Robins’ men enjoyed a start that saw them hover around the top six for a few weeks there were many surprised faces. However, things have completely tailed off in recent weeks and Tykes fans are becoming increasingly concerned about their club’s form. They’ve recorded just the one victory out of their last seven although the biggest worry will be the away form
