Barnsley FC - Video Review of the Reds' 2025-26 League One season
AFTER a bright start, the 2025-26 League One campaign turned out to be another disappointing one for Barnsley.
It ended on a further dispiriting note, too, with head coach Conor Hourihane – in his first full season as a boss – mutually agreed to part company with the club he served with such distinction as a player, clearly frustrated at what many others also feel perceive to be a lack of ambition at Oakwell.
A familiar face in the shape of former Reds boss Daniel Stendel has returned to the helm and it can only be hoped that he can inspire the kind of memorable season like the one when he was first in the Reds’ dugout, guiding the club to the Championship in 2018-19.
The YP’s football writer Leon Wobschall assesses the Tykes’ 2025-26 season and looks at what they need to do this summer to avoid a third year of mid-table mediocrity.
