They had lost 2-1 at Watford to leave their manager incensed.

In contrast, the Tykes approach today's meeting in confident mood after their midweek victory over Nottingham Forest.

Manager Mark Robins, who took charge at Oakwell in September when the club were bottom, is hoping his side can build on the victory and remain in touch with the play-off spots.

"We know all about our character. It is not a surprise. We have become a team that is known to take the scalps of teams at the top of the league and possibly not hitting those heights when playing teams at the bottom of the league," said Robins. "That has got to change. We have got to maintain the form because there is a lot left to play for."
