Barnsley v City - get your tickets

Recently-promoted Barnsley have struggled back in the Championship this season but Rowe, who knows all about them from last season with Doncaster, says the Robins must be ready.

“Last year we played them twice and they got promoted. Obviously I know a lot about how they were last season: they’re a good young side, they’ve also recruited well, I know a few players that have gone there this year and you look at their strength in depth, in terms of the young players who have been doing well for them in central areas, and they’ve done well.

“I think they can still go even further. We know what sort of qualities they have and it’s going to be down to us to devise the plan that we have so far done this season, stick to that game plan. I think when we do stick to the game plan as a group and we go into these team meetings and we come out from it with an idea of what we want, we back each other with it on the day and nine times out of ten we get the result we want so that’s crucial for us.”
