The Chief Executive 

KHALED 

EL-AHMAD 

Good afternoon, 

As we continue our transition to some form of normality, as ever I hope that these notes 

find both you and your loved ones in good health. 

Poya Asbaghi and his coaching team are fiercely committed to this football club. 

They appreciate and understand exactly what is expected from a team representing 

this supporter base. The run of results is unavoidable and of course, we are not where 

we want to be. However, those evasive three points is not down to lack of effort or 

commitment. 

6 

I look back at our last two fixtures and see a side that can compete and should be 

achieving more. We have chances and really positive periods in the game, but errors are 

costing us dearly. When we are in the position that we are, it’s something that we truly 

cannot afford. 

With the relentless pile-up of fixtures, the side have immediate opportunities to put right 

the mistakes made in previous fixtures. Today’s task will be a challenging one, but if the 

team can put in a performance for 90 minutes, which I know they are capable of, there is 

no reason why cannot achieve a positive result. 

It was a privilege to meet a number of Club partners this week. Over lunch, I was 

provided a platform to share my vision for the next few years. Whilst I am excited 

about the challenges that lie ahead, overall, the feedback received was in relation to 

collaboration and working together to achieve, not only for Barnsley FC, but the town 

as a whole. Again, this potential excites me and regardless of form on the field, I look 

forward to the development, alongside our valued partners, off it. 

Over the last week, we have received several damning reports and letters about the 

behaviour of a small minority within our supporter base. As a collective, we have reacted 

and had to issue a number of banning orders. We are also working collaboratively with 

our Fan Engagement Forum and various supporter groups to move forward. 

Notwithstanding the above, the overwhelming majority of Barnsley supporters 

are passionate, loyal and committed supporters and do not want the club’s name 

associating with these individuals. Despite our current situation, you continue to back 

your side, home and away. The 2,300+ at Huddersfield was just as impressive as the 

hardy souls that made the trip south to Bedfordshire midweek. Everybody associated 

with Barnsley FC cannot thank you enough, and the side will need you once again 

today. 

Thank you for your continued support and I hope that you enjoy the game. 

Best wishes, 

Khaled

The Head Coach 

POYA 

ASBAGHI 

A warm welcome back to Oakwell for another Sky Bet Championship 

encounter. 

I have said previously that we need a positive month of February. We haven’t 

got off to the start that we had hoped for, but with games coming so quickly, 

we are not in a position where we are dwelling on defeats. Of course, the team 

is hurting. I appreciate the pain our supporters are also in, but the lads in the 

dressing room and every member of the backroom team is working to put 

things right and get those three points. 

No game in the Championship is easy, with each side posing different and 

on the occasion, unique threats. Luton, on Tuesday evening was frustrating. I 

thought in the first half, we were the better side and we gave ourselves a solid 

platform to complete the job in the second 45. However, when things aren’t 

going your way, it’s difficult to recover from mistakes, and mistakes are often 

punished. 

9 

Of course, we need to be better when we are behind in a game. The easy goals 

we are conceding must be prevented. We summarise and reflect, but we must 

now learn from our mistakes. We must do this sooner rather than later, because 

with the volume of games we have on the horizon, one successful week could 

mean that our entire picture can change. Momentum in football is powerful. 

Today we welcome Queens Park Rangers to South Yorkshire and every member 

of our squad is motivated and prepared for the task at hand. We appreciate 

it’s going to be a difficult game, but as I referenced earlier, every fixture in this 

league is challenging. However, what I can take from the last defeat is that if we 

can play our game, and impose ourselves on the opponent for 90 minutes, there 

is absolutely no reason why we cannot come out with a victory. 

Finally, I want to end these notes with a special mention to our supporters. 2,300 

of you travelled in fantastic voice to Huddersfield last weekend and despite 

the conditions and distance, a good number followed us to Luton in midweek. 

Everybody at the Club appreciates your commitment and support, especially 

during these difficult times. Today, we know that our home crowd, as ever, will 

be behind the lads in red. 

Thank you for your support and enjoy the game. 

All the best, 

Poya

The Big Interview 

DOMINGOS 

QUINA

t’s rare that a player arrives at 

Oakwell with Premier League and 

La Liga experience under his belt, 

but in Domingos Quina we have a 

special talent in our ranks until the end of the 

season as he bids to help us retain our Sky Bet 

Championship status. 

The Watford loanee has quite an interesting 

story, too. Born in Guinea-Bissau, the dynamic 

midfielder moved to Portugal at the age of eight, 

where he soon joined the SL Benfica academy. 

Fitting, given that his father, Samuel, represented 

As Águias (the Eagles) for eight years from 1983, 

winning three Primeira Liga titles, four Taça de 

Portugal trophies and the Supertaça Cândido de 

Oliveira twice. 

12 

Capped five times by Portugal, Samuel was also 

involved in two European Cup finals, losing out 

to PSV Eindhoven on penalties in 1988 before 

succumbing to a 1-0 defeat against an all-star AC 

Milan side two years later. 

He has certainly passed on his football talent 

to Dom, who was named in the Team of the 

Tournament at both the UEFA European U17 

Championships and UEFA European U19 

Championships with Portugal. 

“My relationship with my dad regarding football is 

like he’d give me advice but let me be myself and 

make my own mistakes; he’s not someone who’s 

always in my head and telling me to do things,” 

began Domingos. “He lets me be myself.” 

Reflecting on his personal accolades with the 

national team, the 22-year-old is modest and 

insists any individual honour is irrelevant if there is 

no collective glory at the end of the tournament. 

However, the scale of achievement must be 

taken into consideration given which players he 

was going toe-to-toe with on a global stage. 

Up against the likes of Brahim Díaz, Kai Havertz, 

Erling Braut Håland and Matthijs de Ligt amongst 

others, Dom and his teammates shone to lift those 

coveted trophies. 

“To be in the Team of the Tournament at the end 

of it twice is something that’s amazing, because 

there’s a lot of quality players there,” admitted 

Dom. 


“Don’t get me wrong, it’s good – but it’s not 

something I think about. For me, it’s just to go 

there and play, make sure we get the result 

we want and it’s more important to win. It 

doesn’t matter which tournament we play with 

Portugal, it’s all about getting a trophy at the 

end of it. 

“Our class of ’99 had really good balance and 

a good understanding with each other. There 


13 

were all of these names who were playing at the 

tournament, and to win it and be in the Team 

of the Tournament is a really big achievement, 

but it’s not something that I chase or go into the 

tournament thinking about.” 

The Portuguese team at those respective 

tournaments was brimming with talent. 

Household names such as Diogo Dalot, Gedson 

Fernandes, Florentino Luís, Francisco Trincão and 


Rúben Vinagre all donned the famous maroon 

and green kit. 

With so much quality in abundance, the team 

truly believed they could go on and be successful, 

which ultimately proved to be the case. 

“We just felt in our head – our generation – that we 

could beat anyone,” affirmed Dom. “That’s how 

much we trusted ourselves and how much the 


14 

manager allowed us to be ourselves. As a group, 

we were really confident. 

“We’ve got a lot of good players, and this is 

football – it’s taking time for some people. Some 

people aren’t playing as much as they should 

or want, and I really believe it’s a lot more about 

getting a right club and the ’99 generation can 

flourish.” 

As alluded to at the start of this feature, Domingos’ 


journey began when he joined Benfica as a 

youngster following his arrival from Africa. 

That was just one of a number of prestigious 

academies he would play in. From Lisbon, he 

moved to England with Chelsea and then later 

West Ham United as he made his name in 

London, catching the eye with his creative flair. 

“I think I was eight or nine when I started at 

Benfica,” recalled Dom. “It’s probably the best time 


While at Chelsea’s famed Cobham Training 

Ground, Dom was plying his trade alongside 

future England stars Tammy Abraham, Reece 

James and Mason Mount. 

It was his first time in the capital, but he wasn’t 

fazed by uprooting his entire life to pursue his 

dream – in fact, it was a challenge that he 

embraced with open arms. 

“To be fair, I was just excited – all I cared about 

was football; I wasn’t bothered about the 

language and the culture and stuff like that,” he 

smiled. “When I came here, it was a bit tough 

because of the language, but apart from that I 

was just playing football, and that’s all I cared 

about. 

“So, I was happy.” 

In 2016, Dom made the cross-city switch to east 

London where he joined the Hammers and was 

immediately thrust into the first team set-up on 

their pre-season trip to the States. 

Soon enough, he would be making his 

professional debut as West Ham took on 

Slovenian outfit NK Domžale in their UEFA Europa 

League third qualifying round, coming on as an 

81st minute substitute for Cheikhou Kouyate. 

15 

“When I signed with West Ham, my agent called 

me to say they want me to go to America on preseason 

with them, and he asked if I was ready,” 

said Domingos. “Do I want to do it or not? I said 

‘of course’. He said if I didn’t feel like I was ready, 

not to go. So, I went there, and it went well, and I 

came back and was training with the first team 

and playing some under 23s games. 

“When I made my debut, I wasn’t expecting it 

because I think we were losing, and I was the first 

sub. I was just on the bench and Slaven told me to 

get ready to come on. 

of my life playing football, because the people I 

grew up with were my friends, so we just played 

and it was really enjoyable. 

“The difference is, it was my language and, like I 

said before, most of them were people I grew up 

with, so it was different to other academies that I 

went to. 

“English wasn’t my first language and stuff like 

that.” 


“It was a proud moment and there was a lot of 

emotion going through my head at the time. 

“Slaven was good with the players; he’ll ask you 

questions about stuff outside football, which I 

think is important. I had a good time there when 

he was manager of West Ham; I enjoyed it.” 

The following season would see him feature four 

times for the Hammers’ senior side – all in cup 

competitions, with the highlight being a run out at 

the Emirates Stadium against Arsenal. 


Those performances, coupled with impressive 

displays at U23s level, prompted Watford to prise 

him away from east London for a fee reported 

to be in the region of £1 million in the summer of 

2018. 

He made his Hornets debut in a 2-0 victory 

at Reading in the League Cup second round, 

announcing himself in the most spectacular style 

with a stunning 30-yard strike to double his new 

side’s lead. 

“It’s not just the goal, I think my performance in 

that game was good,” recalled the Portuguese 

midfielder. “I felt confident and the manager 

allowed me to be myself and express myself on 

the ball, and I really enjoyed our game. 

16 

“I remember the goal – I don’t know what I was 

thinking because it was too far. There was a 

corner and I was one of the two players left back. 

Someone headed it and Isaac tried a shot, the 

defender just kicked it and I remember the ball 

came to me – I drove past two players and I don’t 

know what I was thinking. 

“I just let it go on my left foot.” 

After appearing amongst the substitutes against 

Wolverhampton Wanderers and Liverpool earlier 

in the campaign, it wouldn’t be long before Dom 

was thrust into Premier League action for the first 

time. 

Top flight debuts don’t come much tougher 

than Manchester City as Watford welcomed the 

champions to Vicarage Road on a cold Tuesday 

night in December 2018. 

Lining up for the visitors that evening was an 

array of talent: Bernardo and David Silva, Riyad 

Mahrez, Leroy Sane and Barnsley academy 

graduate John Stones as City edged to a 2-1 

victory. 

“I was up against world class players,” reminisced 

Domingos. “When I came on, we were losing, and 

the game was so fast. I didn’t wear my studs and I 

was just slipping all over the pitch. One time when 

I had the ball, I tried to dribble past Fernandinho, 

but with his experience he won the ball and 

started a counter-attack. 

“I remember Silva was talking to me and trying 

to get into my head, so I thought I must be doing 

something right for him to be talking to me like 

this.” 

Under Javi Gracia, it was a good time to be with 

the Hertfordshire outfit, who finished 11th in the 

Premier League that term and reached a first FA 

Cup final since 1984 – only to be brushed aside 

6-0 by an all-conquering Man City side, who 

completed the English domestic treble. 

Domingos’ development was plain to see, and the 

step-up from U23s football was stark comparison, 

but a big learning curve for the flamboyant 

midfielder. 

“In the under 23s, you can make mistakes there 

and get away with it, but you can’t do that in the 

Premier League or Championship,” he asserted. “In 



17 

the Premier League, the things you think you can 

do and the time you think you have – someone 

will come and take it from you and one mistake 

can cost you the game. 

“That’s the big thing I noticed.” 

Watford were relegated the following campaign, 

with four different managers unable to stop them 

from sliding into the Championship after a five 

year stay in England’s elite. 

Dom featured regularly during the first few 

months, scoring his first goal of the season in 

a comprehensive 4-1 mauling of Preston North 

End as the Hornets looked to bounce back to the 

Premier League at the first attempt. 

He then spent the second half of the term on 

loan at Granada CF in La Liga, where he had the 

opportunity to showcase his abilities against some 

of the best players in the world – going up against 

the Galácticos of Real Madrid. 

A boyhood dream had become reality for the lad 

from West Africa. 

“Those are the players that you see on TV or you 

play with them on a video game,” insisted Dom. 

“To actually be on the pitch with them, you see 



18 

that they are world class players. I remember 

watching Modrić, and every time he had the ball 

I thought I could catch him, but he was always 

able to pass the ball. 

“But there was Toni Kroos and Benzema. It was an 

amazing experience, and I could have scored that 

game.” 

Despite not finding the target against Real, the 


Watford loanee had already opened his account 

in just his second appearance for Nazaríes in a 3-2 

defeat at Huesca, before following that up a week 

later in a 2-1 victory at home to Elche. 

His undoubted talent was shining through, and 

he puts it down to competing in a league that is 

better suited to his style of play. 

“I wish I had more goals, and I wish I was 


“The most important thing for me in my head is I 

just love football; I have to be playing one way or 

another because I think that’s the one way you 

can improve as a player. 

“As much as you can train, training isn’t the same 

as actually playing football. So, I’m open to play 

anywhere where I can enjoy my football – I’m 

open minded. 

“You see young English players moving abroad to 

play and you can see the benefit.” 

From Andalusia in southern Spain, Domingos 

returned to England and spent the first part of this 

campaign on loan with high-flying Fulham. 

However, game time was hard to come by at 

Craven Cottage, with the 22-year-old limited 

to just four appearances under Marco Silva in a 

frustrating period. 

“Fulham, personally for me, was tough,” said Dom. 

“I got there in the international break and had a 

good couple of weeks of training, put me in the 

team and played one game. Bearing in mind in 

pre-season I’d barely played games because I 

was injured, after that I was just chasing it and 

chasing it to get into the team. 

19 

“So, it was just a tough time for me, personally, but 

it also made me mentally stronger and helped me 

to work even harder. It didn’t happen for me, so I 

just said – even though they’re probably going to 

win the Championship, which is good for the club 

and players – I wanted to be somewhere where 

I’m contributing to the team or doing something, 

and I wasn’t getting that there.” 

Now, after joining the Reds on deadline day, this 

is an opportunity for regular first team football 

and he is aiming to not only demonstrate his 

own capabilities, but also help keep us in the 

Championship. 

there earlier because the football compared 

to England is different – it’s not so physical,” 

reasoned Dom. 

“It suits me better because I’m not a strong guy or 

a tall guy, for me it’s all about passing and move 

football, tactics and details. 

“For me, it was a really enjoyable time out there 

and it made me better as a player. 


It’s a tough ask, there’s no denying it, given 

the current state of the table. Yet, Domingos is 

confident, despite suffering defeats in his two 

outings against Cardiff City and Luton Town, that 

we can avoid the drop. 

“In my head, I know I can bring something to the 

team, so we just need to know each other to play 

as a team and I need to know what everyone can 

do,” he concluded.” Once we get there, I think we 

can be safe. 

“The good thing is that most of the players are all 

the same age, so it’s easy to understand each other 

and talk to each other, trust each other as well.”

oday’s visitors don’t do draws. 

Very reminiscent of the Reds under 

Valérien Ismaël last term, it’s mainly 

a case of winning with the odd defeat 

punctuating the schedule. 

The London club are in red-hot form coming into 

this afternoon’s Sky Bet Championship clash. 

Nine victories from their last 13 league fixtures, 

the R’s are 4th in the league table, and haven’t 

lost on the road since October’s defeat at 

Peterborough United. 

In recent weeks, they’ve seen off West Bromwich 

Albion, Coventry City away from home and 

thumped Reading 4-0 on home soil. 

Since taking over a former Premier League 

club enduring a real slump, back in 2019, 

Mark Warburton has slowly but surely lifted 

the Hoops back into the role of promotion 

contenders. Steady improvements, year on year, 

and helped by the backing of the club’s owners, 

you’d be hard pressed not to fancy QPR to 

regain their top-flight status come May. 

Strangely, and even though it’s months ago 

now, that first half Reds display at Loftus Road 

remains one of the brief highlights of our own 

campaign. Going into a 2-0 half-time lead 


where we were cursing further chances spurned, 

only to surrender what looked a surefire three 

points, drawing 2-2 back in August. 

Last season in this fixture the Reds brushed 

aside a Rangers outfit reduced to 10-men in the 


23 

first half. The game - Ismaël’s first in charge - 

saw us victorious, 3-0, but it should really have 

been double that, such was the dominance. 

We completed a league double with a 3-1 win at 

Loftus Road later in the season. 


A fixture that once was deemed one of ‘doom’ 

has been bright for Barnsley in recent seasons 

and it needs to be a similarly pleasing outcome 

this afternoon if our status as a Championship 

club is to remain possible.

The Rs Manager 

MARK WARBURTON 

ark Warburton was appointed manager of QPR back in 

the summer of 2019. Previous to this he had managed at 

Nottingham Forest, Glasgow Rangers and most notably 

Brentford. 

It was with the Bees that Warburton first entered football management, 

back in 2013. He would go on to enjoy immediate success as he led the 

club back to the second tier of English football for the first time since 1993 as 

they finished as runners-up in Sky Bet League One at the end of the 2013/14 

campaign. 

He’d initially arrived at Griffin Park in February of 2011 as Interim First Team 

Coach, working alongside Nicky Forster following the departure of Andy 

Scott. 

He was later appointed as Sporting Director in the summer of 2011 and took 

overall responsibility for the football side of the club. 

25 

Working alongside Uwe Rösler, Mark helped build a first team squad that 

finished third in League One in the 2012/13 season and then lost the League 

One PlayOff Final. 

Mark also oversaw the opening of a new Category Two Football Academy 

and built a support team of medical, analysis, conditioning and kit 

management staff. 

He was appointed Glasgow Rangers boss in the summer of 2015 and in his 

first season at Ibrox he guided the Gers to the Scottish Championship title, 

earning them promotion back to the top flight and also lifted the Scottish 

Challenge Cup for a double-winning debut campaign at the helm. 

In March of 2017, Warburton took over at Nottingham Forest but his stay 

was short-lived, dismissed on New Year’s Eve with Forest sat 14th in the 

Championship table. 

He led the R’s to a 13th place finish in his first season at the helm, at the end 

of the COVID-affected 2019/20 campaign. Last term saw a small jump to 

9th by the end of that particular season, and with the Hoops now sitting 

inside the play-offs, Warburton has certainly made his mark over the last 

three years at Loftus Road. 

But can he take them back to the top flight?

OPPOSITION CORNER 

by Matt Whiley 

Clive Whittingham is now into his fourth decade supporting QPR, having held a season ticket since 

1992/93. In addition to attending every match home and away, he can also be found at the Hoops 

website Loft For Words. We spoke to him to get the lowdown on our opponents this afternoon. 

How did you first get into following QPR? 

I actually didn’t initially like football at all as a 

child, and got teased at school by the little Man 

Utd glory hunters who did. QPR, my dad’s team, 

then beat Man Utd 4-1 very famously on New 

Year’s Day 1992 so I waited up for him to get 

home from the game and tell me all about it. 

Three days later I was off to my first game, a 2-0 


FA Cup loss at Southampton, where I was bored 

and cold, and I’ve been bored and cold at every 

QPR game ever since. I lost my dad in 1999 so 

it’s been a great comfort and way of keeping a 

connection, to keep following the club. 

What have you made of the season so far? 

Very pleased with how it’s gone so far. We 


in the summer. We got Charlie Austin, Sam 

Field, Jordy De Wijs and Stefan Johansen, 

who’d all played well on loan last season, in on 

permanent deals. We also added Jimmy Dunne, 

Andre Gray, Andre Dozzell and Sam McCallum. 

This is way more business than any of us 

expected, won’t have come cheap, and has 

given us a great team with a puncher’s chance 

of winning promotion – Dunne, in particular, has 

been exceptional. 

The club still, in its pared down state, loses £1.6m 

a month or thereabouts, so its budget, and the 

P&S rules of the league, meant January was 

never going to be a big one for us. We needed 

a new goalkeeper as we lost Seny Dieng to 

AFCON and Jordan Archer to injury, David 

Marshall has been impressive so far. 

We brought in Dion Sanderson to cover our 

three centre backs, who between them are 

clocking up amazing minutes (at the time of 

writing Yoann Barbet hasn’t missed a single 

second of 90+ consecutive league games, and 

Rob Dickie isn’t far behind on 67). And Jeff 

Hendrick, just for fun. 

Who would you say have been the best firstteam 

performers this season? 

We’ve been very consistent for more than 12 

months now, players like Stefan Johansen, 

Ilias Chair, Rob Dickie, Lee Wallace playing big 

minutes, producing at a consistently high level. I 

suspect if you held the POTY vote now it would 

be a shoot-out between Jimmy Dunne, Yoann 

Barbet and Chris Willock with an honourable 

mention for crowd favourite Albert Adomah. 

27 

Are there any highly-rated young players 

worth watching out for? 

finished last season very strongly with 15 wins 

from the final 23 games, only the promoted 

top two did better, and we backed that up 

with a strong summer of recruitment, including 

securing all four loans who’d helped lead the 

turnaround in 2020/21. 

So, expectations were high at the start, but 

you’ve still got to remember that the days of 

moneybags QPR splashing cash, big transfer 

fees, silly wages, are long gone. We’re on a 

budget dwarfed by most of the other clubs 

up there with us at the moment, so it’s a great 

achievement. 

What are your thoughts on January’s latest 

transfer business? 

The vast majority of our business was done 


I think Chris Willock is one of the best young 

players in the division, never mind just our team. 

There aren’t (m)any teenagers battering the 

door down, but we’re developing a nice line in 

picking up cast offs from the Premier League 

puppy farms and actually playing them in some 

actual football matches which, wouldn’t you just 

know it, is yielding positive results. 

What's the target for this QPR squad in your 

eyes, come the end of the season? 

I suspect most QPR fans would say now, given 

the position we’re in, we’ve got to aim for 

promotion. We’ve got a great chance. For me, 

obviously that would be great, and the money 

would be transformative now the club is run 

by people who would know what to do with 

it, but if we can continue the trend of the last 

three seasons by finishing higher, playing better, 

picking up more points, winning more games, 

then I’ll see that as a success.

Championship title in 2010-11. He was a striker 

with Chesterfield, Rotherham, Hartlepool, 

Scunthorpe, Aldershot, Barnsley, York City, 

Crewe and Burton, then managed Gainsborough 

and Burton before guiding Scarborough to the 

Conference title in 1986-87. Taking charge of Notts 


County in January 1989, he plotted two play-off 

final triumphs. He has since managed Torquay, 

Huddersfield, Plymouth, Sheffield United, Crystal 

Palace, QPR from March 2010 until January 

2012, Leeds, Palace and QPR again, Rotherham, 

Cardiff and Middlesbrough, a record eight 

promotions overall. 

HARRY REDKNAPP 

Harry Redknapp managed QPR straight back 

to the top-flight in 2013-14. Signing professional 

for West Ham in March 1964, the winger reunited

Ais for Alien. 

Do you believe? 

Yeah, I do. I think it’s too big for 

something not to be out there and 

there’s too many planets and all 

sorts – too much unknown for 

there surely not to be something 

out there. So, I’d definitely like to think there’s 

something. 

Bis for Baller. Who is the 

best you’ve played with? 

That’s tough you know. I played with Harvey 

Barnes at England and Dons, so I’ll say Harvey 

Barnes 

Cis for Cheese. What’s 

your favourite kind? 

I’m a big fan of all cheese, you know. I’ll go for 

Parmesan – something a bit simple and strong. 

is for Dessert. What’s 

D your choice of sweet? 

I’m not really a dessert person – I’d rather have a 

starter than a dessert. If I’m 

having a dessert, I’ll go for a 

waffle. 

is for Eat. What’s your 

E favourite meal? 

That’s tough. I go through stages of pasta and 

steak. You know what, I’ll go for your classic roast 

dinner with thick gravy and proper roasties. A 

good roast dinner. 

F 

is for Five. What is your all-time 

five-a-side team? 

Am I in it? I’m chucking myself in that. In goal, I’ll go 

with Neuer – just a big guy who can lie down and 

fill the whole goal. Me and Dani Alves can be 

silky at the back. We’ll have Gerrard work 

horsing in the middle and Ronaldinho 

up top. That’ll be fun. 

Gis for Guests. Which three people would 

you invite to a dinner party? 

Dan Bilzerian – he’s a professional poker player 

and he’s so rich. Go on his Insta, it’s so funny. I’d 

probably get him just for the stories. Steven Gerrard 

– I just love him; I think he’s class and he’s my idol 

from very young. Justin Bieber can come to my 

dinner party – what a legend. 

His for Hero. What would your 

superhero power be? 

Invisibility just beats everything. You can fly, 

but people can see you, so what’s the point in 

flying? It just draws attention. Invisible? Done. 

Iis for Island. What three items would you 

want on a desert island? 

Can you just bring a boat? There you go. A 

boat, straight off the island. Bish, bash, bosh 

– you don’t need the other two. A map and a 

compass, there you go. 

Jis for Joke. Tell us one. 

What’s red and goes up and 

down? A tomato in a lift. 

is for Karaoke. What’s your 

K go-to song? 

I’ll go for Billionaire by Bruno Mars. 

is for Literature. What was 

L the last book you read? 

I’m reading, at the moment, 

Peter Crouch’s autobiography. 

is for Music. Who’s your 

M favourite artist? 

That’s impossible. Honestly, if you go on my 

playlist it can vary from Fallout Boy to 

Drake, to then Christina Aguilera. Justin 

Bieber is on there, Adele. That’s tough. 

I’ll say JB. 



is for Nickname. 

N What do your friends call you? 

I don’t really have a nickname to be honest. Cal 

or Britts. I get called annoying quite a lot. 

is for Opposition. Who is the best you’ve 

O played against? 

That’s hard. I feel like I’ve played against a few good 

players. I’ve played against Liverpool, Chelsea, 

Arsenal. Do you know what, it’s boring because I’ve 

played against those teams but, because I’ve played 

against him, and because he’s played the amount of 

games he has at a high level, I’m going to go James 

Milner. When I played against him, he was playing 

left midfield and he’s not even a left midfielder, and 

he was just a pure workhorse and did everything 

well – I don’t remember him doing anything that 

wasn’t good. So, I’m going James Milner. 

is for Profession. If you weren’t a 

P footballer, what would you do? 

At school, I used to like doing all the graphic 

design stuff, but that’s too hard – I probably 

wouldn’t do it. I used to like doing the drawings, 

but then the paperwork wasn’t for me. I’d 

probably give it a go with Twitch or something, 

play games for a living. I’m alright, but if you 

practice enough, surely you get better. 

is for Quarantine. Did you do anything 

Q new in lockdown? 

I was a bit of a slob for the very first lockdown for 

the first month or two, then I just got absolutely 

ripped. I didn’t really necessarily do anything new, 

but I go into a good workout and was doing cross 

training a bit. So, I didn’t really do anything new, 

other than watch a lot of films. 

is for Retirement. What do you see 

R yourself doing after playing? 

I want to work – even if I made a load of money, I’d 

want to work. I think I’d make a good coach, but 

I don’t really like the idea of being a coach. I like 

animals – I like dogs – when I was younger, I always 

wanted to work in a zoo, so maybe I’d go down 

that route. Or maybe little training camps back 

home for kids. Something with animals or kids. 

is for Sport. What’s your 

S favourite outside of football? 

Golf. I’ve played a lot of golf in the last year, so it’d 

be golf or tennis. 

is for Travel? What’s your ideal holiday 

T destination? 

My missus loves the beach, so it’s normally the 

beach because I get bullied into a beach holiday, 

but I like doing stuff. So, a bit of both – somewhere 

on the coast but where there’s a lot of stuff to 

do. I’ll have to say beach though because that’s 

where I go the most, because I get bullied. 

is for Unlimited. If you could have 

U endless something, what would it be? 

Happiness. 

is for Vehicle. What is your dream car? 

V Lamborghini Urus, at the moment. That is 

unreal – I love it. I like a bigger sports car, not the 

slimline one. 

is for Watch. Can you recommend a film 

W or tv series? 

I’m bad for series; I watch two or three episodes and 

forget about it then don’t go back. I like Focus with 

Will Smith in it. That’s a good film – give it a watch. 

is for X-Ray. Have you ever broken a bone? 

XIs there any wood in here? No. 

is for You. Describe yourself 

Y in three words. 

Energetic, moany and funny. 

is for Zombie. What would you do in the 

Z event of a zombie apocalypse? 

That’s a weird question – I was actually talking 

about zombies earlier! I used to love playing Call 

of Duty: Zombies; it was class. I used to love all the 

old school Call of Duty maps – I played it for hours! 

Do I have endless resources? I’d just make my own 

barricade with holes in and just pop them off as 

they come. I’d have a bit of fun with it; I wouldn’t 

be one of them who just crawls into a cupboard. 

With endless resources, I’d give it a right go.

Academy Interview 

THEO CHAPMAN 

41 



42 

ur next academy starlet to feature 

under the spotlight is Theo Chapman, 

who has had to bide his time and be 

patient for regular action in the under 

18s this term. 

However, in recent weeks, the skilful midfielder 

has caught the eye and contributed to our 

youngsters’ impressive results – most notably in 

the 5-0 demolition at Coventry City a fortnight 

ago. 

The 16-year-old was on the score sheet 

that afternoon, netting the fourth goal of a 

comprehensive victory and celebrated in style 

with an acrobatic flip owing to his upbringing as 

a talented gymnast. 

“That helps a lot with my football in terms of 

my athleticism, my spring etcetera,” insisted 

Theo in the North Stand classroom. “So, I did my 

celebration like that the other day. 

“I was in more of a tumbling element. Basically, 

there was a 20-metre track, and you just do 

skills down the track – I didn’t do the bars and 

stuff like that.” 

Timing his runs into the box is a major part of 

Theo’s game – something he has made a habit 

of progressing through the age groups since 

arriving at the Reds academy back in 2013. 

Nine years on, he is mastering his craft and 

reaping the rewards with an expert finish 

against the Sky Blues that crashed in off the 

underside of the crossbar. 

“I’d say that I’m quite a creative midfielder or 

attacking midfielder,” discussed Chappers, as he 

is known by his teammates and the coaching 

staff at Oakwell. “I like to play on the left and 

come in on my right foot. I just like linking up, 

scoring goals and helping my team get the win. 

“I got in the right area at Coventry – I’m used to 

doing that, especially from the under 16s – and I 

just had composure to finish it.” 

The goals are flying in for our U18s at the 

moment, with 18 plundered in their last four 


outings – including 10 in two games against 

Crewe Alexandra, who also netted seven in 

those entertaining encounters. 

In a topsy-turvy clash with the Railwaymen 

last weekend, Barnsley led four times before 

falling behind in the last minute, only for Charlie 

Hickingbottom to snatch a more than deserved 

share of the spoils from a match our young Reds 

largely dominated. 

Theo admits it was disappointing to come away 

with only a point from that game, but it all adds 

to the tally as Tom Harban’s side look to end the 

season on a high and secure a top two finish. 

“It was a tough game to play in – it was quite 

end to end,” reflected the midfielder. “We had 

quite a lot of chances and should have scored a 

lot more than what we actually did. 

“I’d say we’re disappointed to come away with 

the draw because we’ve been winning a lot of 

games this season and we wanted to keep that 

streak going. We’ll always take a point though; 

it’s better than a loss. 

“We’ve got that quality of players just to keep 

the goals coming. We’ve got Lloyd, Fabio, 

Keegan and me as well who are scoring goals. 

With Ben and Hayden providing assists from 

wing-back, it’s a good group.” 

Our U18s’ next assignment is a trip to 

Charlton Athletic in the PDL Cup quarter finals 

next weekend, in what is set to be a stern 

examination against the south league leaders. 

The Addicks are the Professional Development 

League top scorers, with 52 in 14 games, while 

young striker Daniel Kanu has netted 26 goals in 

all competitions for Hamza Serrar’s side. 

Their only league defeat was on the opening 

day at Peterborough United, and they have also 

progressed to the fifth round of the FA Youth 

Cup. 

However, despite all the daunting statistics, 

Theo is confident that he and his teammates 

can travel to south London and progress to the 


final four – and provide a timely morale boost in 

their bid to reach the play-offs. 

“Charlton have always been a good side, so it’s 

going to be a tough game but, hopefully with 

our qualities, we can turn them over,” he said. 

“We’ve got a good group of players who are all 

bettering each other, so you’d expect us to be 

up there in the top half of the table. 

“We can definitely push for the play-offs – we’ve 

got good characters, so getting the play-offs is 

a possibility.” 

It’s not just football and gymnastics where our 

fledgling midfielder has flourished, though. There’s 

much more to young Theo than meets the eye. 

Some of you may recognise him from JD Sports 

commercials through his modelling career that 

he started a few years ago, although he has put 

that to one side for the time being to focus solely 

on his efforts with Barnsley. 

43 

“I applied through agencies,” revealed Theo. “It’s 

something else to do and, especially being in 

front of cameras and being in football, it helps 

quite a lot. 

“I was around 12 or 13, then carried it on until I 

was 15, but football got more serious and I was 

getting into my scholarship time, so I had to 

stop it. 

“I did a bit of a modelling and acting shoot with 

Hugo Boss for the World Cup in 2018, not really 

much other than that. JD is with Tessuti as well, 

so I did them two. 

“If things pop up, maybe I might have a look at 

it again – especially after football – but I’m just 

focussed on football now.” 

The main question we want to know, however, 

are there any discounts for this merchandise? 

“I don’t get discounts, to be fair, but I got a bit of 

money for it.” 

Worth a try…

ome might call it a modern 

injustice, others see the unsung 

hero as a typically good old 

British way of knuckling down 

for the cause without fanfare; something 

which seems to be of huge value to our 

little island. 

Many have been posthumously 

recognised for their contributions, albeit 

too late in some people’s eyes. 

Alan Turing, the man credited with 

breaking the enigma code in WWII and 

ultimately turning the tide in the favour of 

the allies. Never recognised when he was 

alive due to the classified nature of his 

work, disgraced due to archaic laws, the 

Queen officially recognised him in 2013, 

some 61 years after he died. 

Peter Taylor, Brian Clough’s not-so 

famous assistant who is generally 

considered to be the man that looked 

after the football while Cloughie did 

the man management. With league 

championships, league cups and 

European cups on his CV, he will always 

be recognised as a number 2. 

Murdoch from the A-Team, Howling Mad 

as he was known, they had to break him 

out of the veteran’s hospital every time 

someone found them when no one else 

could help. We all wanted to be BA, we 

wanted to drive Face Man’s Corvette and 

make a plan like Hannibal, but without a 

spiked glass of milk and Murdoch’s skills 

as a pilot, they’d have not got anywhere 

fast. 

And so that brings me to………. 

UNSUNG 

HEROES 

Neil Richardson 

MARLEY WATKINS (BABY). 

Arguably, this particular signing was the best of 

what the ‘spreadsheet’, developed by the late 

Patrick Cryne would deliver. Yes, Conor Hourihane 

was great, but he was playing in League Two at 

the time that we signed him. Marley was way 

down in the Conference plying his trade with 

Hereford united at 23 years of age, where they 

were in absolute turmoil off the pitch and getting 

crowds of just 200 spectators per game, and then 

had a semi-decent stint with Inverness. 

Like a lot of players in the 2015/16 season, it took 

a while to get going. We were rock bottom before 

Christmas and facing calls for major changes. 

Then something clicked. The arrival of a couple of 

players, one of them a free agent named Adam 

Hammill (have you heard of him?) gave the whole 

team a confidence boost. Young Robbo and Alfie 

Mawson developed a formidable partnership at 

the back, all giving Marley the perfect opportunity 

to be a 10 to Winnall’s 9…and oh how it worked a 

treat. The goals were flying in left right and centre 

in the second half of the season. The arrival of Ash 

Fletcher meant Watkins could move out onto the 

right wing and even though he was out for a few 

weeks through injury, his contribution couldn’t be 

underestimated that year. 

As is the case when you’re playing well and in 

a side on the up, bigger clubs inevitably come 

knocking and this was no different. Marley gained 

a move to Norwich at the end of his contract, 

earned in no small part thanks to his commitment 

and work ethic. 

Sadly he doesn’t seem to have found a home 

anywhere like he had at Oakwell, but isn’t that 

often the case with many players? But nevertheless, 

he will always be fondly remembered for being an 

intrinsic part of an unforgettable season.

Guest Column 

BARRY 

MURPHY 



e’ve had a few games since I last wrote 

to you, and I must say that I think the 

Reds have lacked an awful lot of luck in 

those matches. 

I don’t want to look for excuses, but the standard 

of refereeing at the moment is so poor. These 

decisions cost you points, momentum and 

confidence. If Aaron Leya Iseka’s goal stands 

against Cardiff City last time we were here, it 

gives us a huge morale boost knowing we got 

the least we deserved from that game. 

The same with the lad Michał Helik at 

Huddersfield Town in the FA Cup last weekend. 

It shows our fighting spirit, and we haven’t been 

rewarded for our efforts, unfortunately. 

However, what I can say is that there have been 

positives to take from the latest performances, 

even though results aren’t going our way just 

yet – but it’s important that we all remain upbeat 

because it’s not over yet. Far from it. 

50 

I thought we played very well in the first half at 

Luton Town on Tuesday evening, and we should 

have been ahead early on if we’d taken a couple 

of good opportunities that came our way, but 

it just looked as though we lacked a little bit of 

confidence in the final third. 

All except for Carlton Morris. That lad is a natural 

finisher, and he took his goal excellently. That 

is one of those chances where it’s easy to fluff 

your lines because there’s so much time to think 

about where you want to put the ball, but he 

let the ‘keeper make the first move and took it 

fantastically well. 

And, I’ve got to say, the new signings Amine 

Bassi and Domingos Quina look like they’re 

going to be great additions to this team with the 

movement and creativity they provide in behind 

the striker. 

They were both brilliant at Kenilworth Road – as 

was the lad Callum Styles – and I think once they 

all develop an understanding, we’ll see good 

things from them. 

A special mention to the 300 supporters who 

made the 250-mile round trip to Luton to cheer 

the Reds on. Times are hard, at the moment, 

with the cost of living rising and, of course, things 

aren’t going too well on the pitch either. 

I’m pleased to hear that dedication and effort 

was rewarded by both clubs supplying a free 


drink to each travelling fan. It’s a really nice 

and classy touch, and those who put it in place 

should be applauded. 

Onto this afternoon’s game, and it’s another 

tough one against Queens Park Rangers, who 

are in good form. In fact, they haven’t lost a 

league game this year, so we know the size of 

the challenge we’re going to face. 

I watched a bit of the game on Wednesday night 

when they drew with Middlesbrough, and they’re 

another team that will play for set-pieces to 


51 

utilise their aerial strengths, so the Reds will need 

to be wary of that particular threat. 

There are 17 matches remaining, and anything 

can happen in this funny old game. Don’t write 

us off yet. 

I hope you enjoy this one today, let’s hope we 

can get a result and, you never know, our luck 

might just change.

THE 

FOOD 

SP T 



54 

e’re big foodies here at Grove Street – 

especially when it comes to anything 

sweet. It’s a wonder why we’ve left 

it this long to venture to a dessert 

specialist, but the wait is over. 

You may remember from our Swansea City 

edition that we visited Market Kitchen for the 

first time, with the wonderful array of eateries 

dotted around the upper section of the Glass 

Works. 

Situated up there is the delightful Dolly’s 

Desserts, who sate your cravings with a variety 

of sweet treats from ice creams to waffles, 

cheesecakes to brownies. 

Just looking through the glass display case at 

the front of the shop is enough to make your 

mouth water, and it takes a lot of self-control 

not to channel your inner Harry Potter with his 

pocket full of Galleons (“We’ll take the lot!”). 

Sorry. 

Helping to serve up these delicious offerings is 

Charlie, so we spoke to her to get a low down 

on all the goings on behind the counter. 

“We do waffles, crepes, cookie dough – we make 

all of our ice cream ourselves, all of our own 

brownies, cheesecakes, and the waffle and crepe 

mixes are all freshly made here with produce 

from the market and local dairies,” she explained. 

“We move in in October 2019, but then we pretty 

much went into lockdown after that. That’s 

when we started doing our website, so we sell 

cookie dough kits online for people to make 

their own cookie dough at home. 



“We had a bit of time at the beginning of lockdown 

where we had to send stuff out, but as it started 

relaxing, we started sending cookie doughs out 

to people, and that was that. We sent kits out so 

people could make Dolly’s at home instead. 

“As we reopened, we got more of a social media 

following and then it kind of went from there. 

Now, we’re getting very busy here, which is why 

we’re opening another shop.” 

That’s right. Another Dolly’s Dessert opening in 

the Glass Works in the near future, and it’ll be 

near the new Cineworld, so you can load up on 

a yummy treat before you head into the flicks. 

Not only are the parlour thriving in person, 

but they’ve racked up an incredible social 

media following, too, with an avid audience on 

Facebook, Instagram and TikTok. 

“We’ve been doing really well on social media; 

we’ve been getting lots of attention through that – 

we’ve got nearly one million followers on TikTok!” 

beamed Charlie. 

“The videos we put on are of us making the ice 

creams, our day-to-day life, making customer 

orders, decorating desserts – just everything about 

it. People love to see it.” 

Of course, everyone is partial to their own 

favourite dessert (this particular Grove Street 

reporter is a chocoholic), but we wanted to know 

what the best seller was at Dolly’s. 

“Anything with Kinder Bueno on!” was the reply. 

There you have it, Dolly’s Desserts. Find them on 

social media and, more importantly, at Market 

Kitchen and treat yourself to something amazing!

REDS IN THE COMMUNITY 

PAUL FRANCE 

56 

I was born and grew up in Huddersfield and 

like many young boys I wanted to become a 

professional footballer. I was fortunate enough 

to do that, doing two years as an apprentice and 

then two years as a professional with Huddersfield 

Town. I then had a year at Bristol City, two seasons 

with Burnley but by the age of 23 I had realised I 

wasn’t good enough really, not to play at that kind 

of level, and so I dropped into non-league football. 

But football was my passion and I didn’t want to 

leave it, so I took my coaching badges and also 

went to University and whilst playing in non-league 

I went to work at Leeds United in their football in 

the community programme. And within a couple 

of years, Huddersfield approached me and asked 

if I’d go back there and head up their community 

programme. I did that for 19 years. 

I went back to Burnley and spent five years 

as deputy chief executive of Burnley FC in the 

community. I think that was the best example I can 

think of how football in the community can work 

closely together with the club to help, improve and 

change people’s lives. It’s about working together, 

collaborating with local authorities and really 

engaging with the local community. 

That’s the experience that I’m bringing to Reds in the 

Community, and initially I’ve sought to strengthen 

those links between RITC and the Club, working 

shoulder to shoulder with Khaled El-Ahmad. I’ve 

looked to work closely with the marketing and 

communications team here, and to really embed 

Reds in the Community into the Club. 

I want to make sure that we work collaboratively 

with key stakeholders across the town. But again, 

with the main focus of making a difference. Can 

we change people’s lives, improve people’s lives? 

That’s the aim for myself and for RITC. Not delivering 

projects for the sake of it, but providing real, tangible 

projects that make a difference. 

I know how important football clubs can be within 

their communities. And with that comes a big 



esponsibility to use that power as a force for good. 

We have the ability to engage with certain groups, 

certain people that no other organisations can. 

And so I’m looking to reach those people, to create 

impactful projects that reach the people in greatest 

need. Whether that’s through youth employability 

programmes, such as those who’ve perhaps been 

unable to flourish in a classroom environment and 

would like to progress their careers through football. 

That’s something I’m going to be looking to introduce. 

Mental health is another big one. It’s a big issue, not 

just here in Barnsley but nationally and I think we 

certainly have a role to play in engaging with young 

people in particular and getting them involved in 

therapeutic sessions that we can deliver. It’s about 

using the brand of the football club to initiate these 

conversations and get people to open up and start 

talking about how they feel. 

The food bank is also very relevant. There’s so much 

going on right now, with the rise in energy and 

fuel prices, the cost of living and there are so many 

families who are right on that threshold of falling 

into poverty. So we are trying to show that we can 

help tackle that issue. We care about our club and 

our community, and it’s about being consistent in 

everything that we do really. 

And the main thing I want to ensure, is that the 

people of Barnsley and the supporters of our club 

are really proud of what the club does within its 

community. For a lot of people - and I do understand 

this - it’s all about the result on the pitch. I get that. 

But I’d like to try and change people’s mentalities 

a little so that they see Barnsley Football Club as 

a six, seven days a week organisation that is out 

there doing good for its town and its people, its 

community. 

We want to make people proud. 

In my first couple of months here I’ve been keen to 

get out there and meet the key stakeholders in the 

town, such as the council and public health, and 

tell them a little bit about myself and what I’d like 

to try and implement here within the community 

of Barnsley. It’s about finding out what keeps these 

people awake at night, and where can we help, how 

can we work together for the greater good. 

I have been warmly welcomed everywhere I’ve 

been so far, it’s been a really positive start and I can 

definitely sense that shared desire to come together 

and meet the needs of people in Barnsley. That goes 

for everyone in the Club also. Not just Khaled, but all 

of the staff here have made me feel very welcome 

and I feel like I’ve been here a lot longer than two 

months. Which is a good sign, because I feel part of 

the Club already. 

I look forward to meeting more supporters over the 

coming months and thank you all for your support of 

Reds in the Community. 

Enjoy the game, 

Paul

HERE’S 

A ST AT 

I BET 

YOU 

DIDN’T 

KN 

W

OVER HALF A MILLION 

SKY BET CUSTOMERS USE DEPOSIT LIMITS 

TO MANAGE THEIR BETTING BUDGET. 

THAT’S ENOUGH TO FILL: 

6 WEMBLEYS. 

201 ALLY PALLYS. 

OR 8 CHELTENHAM GOLD CUP DAYS. 

(THAT’S A LOT OF TWEED) 

ALL GOOD BOOKMAKERS 

HAVE DEPOSIT LIMITS. 

SO WHOEVER YOU BET WITH, 

SET AN APPROPRIATE ONE FOR YOU 

AND THEN ENJOY THE SPORT. 

DEPOSIT LIMITS 

THAT’S BETTING BETTER.
