Barnsley 2026/27 League One Preview
Barnsley have scored seven goals in seven games and it has left them 18th. Daniel Stendel’s side won 3-1 at Leyton Orient and 2-1 at home to Blackpool, but were beaten 5-1 by Stevenage at Oakwell and 3-0 at Plymouth, and have drawn a blank in three of seven.
Cameron McGeehan is the leading scorer with three, two of them from the penalty spot. Patrick Kelly has created 17 chances from the No.10 position, more than anyone else at the club, and Tyrese Noslin has taken 28 corners from right-back. The service is there; the finishing has not been.
Fifteenth and 59 points last season was a disappointment for a club with Barnsley’s recent history of play-off football. Stendel needs a centre-forward to take responsibility – Makenzie Kirk has one so far – because the chances are being created.
