In the early morning of January 26, Beijing time, in a match in the 26th round of the Championship, vice president Barnesley challenged Nottingham Forest, the 2nd champions of the Champions League. As a result, after 90 minutes of the battle, Barnsley was completely at a disadvantage, and finally lost the game 3-0. In this regard, Barnsley has played 26 consecutive rounds this season, won only 2 games, and still has not been able to get rid of the bottom status.
Speaking of Barnsley, the most impressive memory of fans in recent years should be the 2007-08 FA Cup match, they have eliminated Liverpool and Chelsea to enter the top 4, breaking a big cold at the time. The highest moment of honour in the club's history came on 24 April 1912, when they beat West Bromwich Albion 1-0 to win the team's only FA Cup today.
Last season, Barnsley performed well, finishing 5th in the league and at one point getting the chance to play in the promotion play-offs. However, this season, Barnsley's performance has been very bad, and it can be said that a relegation place has been booked early. After the early hours of the morning games, Barnsley suffered three consecutive defeats, the last time the Championship victory was against Derby County in November.
Earlier, as Derby County was deducted 21 points, Rooney's side was at the bottom for a long time. Recently, Derby County have scored consecutive points, surpassing Barnsley to rise to the bottom of the second place. Barnsley, who originally had a small-tournament advantage, could get rid of the bottom position even if they won a draw in the early morning, but they lost the game 0-3, which was also a gift to all derby County.
Judging by Barnsley's current state, they want league relegation and can only hope for a miracle. Barnsley's situation has been terrible, but for Manchester United star Rooney, he has also experienced a very heart-wrenching game, which was the loss to Barnsley last November.
Faced with a direct opponent in relegation, Wayne Rooney's Derby County lost 1-2, giving the opponent their only victory in nearly half a year. Looking back on the game, perhaps even Rooney himself was upset about why he lost to a team that couldn't win from other teams for more than half a year.
Whether it's the Barn League or Derby County, they want to finally relegate this season, and it's hard. Derby County, led by Wayne Rooney, has a good momentum at present, but after all, it is more than the rest of the relegation team, and the advantage is not obvious. Although the Barn league is rare, it is in extremely bad form, not to mention relegation, and even winning is very difficult for them.
