BARNSLEY return to full pre-season training on Monday but it is unclear if they will be joined by new signings or Stephen Humphrys.

A bit of a round-up here:

Barnsley losing 1-0 at home to Wigan at half-time. Poor game and a poor goal from the Reds' point of view. Big second half to come.

A quarter of the way through this game. Very little happening in awful weather
