Will things be as straightforward for the Blades and Owls on Sunday? We will have to wait to find out. But before that, there's plenty of League One action to keep you occupied as the rest of the table take to the pitch tomorrow afternoon for yet more EFL action. We will be here to guide you through all the triumphs and trials starting with Mansfield Town's trip to Wrexham's stronghold and Burton Albion's hunt for a win as they host Shrewsbury Town at 12: 30 GMT. See you then! FT: Barnsley 2-0 Rotherham Barnsley's home form has been a hurdle in their hunt for a play-off place - but no more! The 2-0 win at Oakwell over their South Yorkshire rivals sees them sail up to fourth and firmly on the hunt for promotion, level on points with Wrexham and just four behind Birmingham City and Wycombe Wanderers. The top three play tomorrow as do the chasing pack behind the Tykes ready to displace them in their comfy spot in the top five. FT: Barnsley 2-0 Rotherham Rotherham boss Steve Evans told BBC Radio Sheffield: "We started the game really well and were the better side for the first 20 minutes. But it's almost like a switch and we conceded a goal from a set play. "From then on to half-time it was hard for us. We changed a few things at half-time to get some width and pace on the pitch and we were good for 15 minutes. "But goals change games and we missed a good chance and they scored from a defensive mistake, but it was a really good finish. From then on we were chasing shadows. " FT: Barnsley 2-0 Rotherham Les Payne Former Sheffield Star Rotherham United reporter on BBC Radio Sheffield It's going to be difficult for Rotherham to launch a promotion bid from here. They've got two weeks off for the international break then they're away at Crawley, home to Lincoln and away to Blackpool. I think you need to see where they are after that Blackpool game. The fans are going to be unhappy and will be shouting for the manager's head because he promised everything this season. It's a difficult time for Steve Evans and [chairman] Tony Stewart. #bbcefl on X, via Whats App on 03301231826 or text 81111 (UK only, standard message rates apply) Nick in Rotherham: That was another shocking performance by Rotherham, chairman used the manager to get season ticket sales, manager not up to it, brought 13 free players, not spent a penny and lots all our quality. Pub standard football. FT: Barnsley 2-0 Rotherham Barnsley boss Darrell Clarke told BBC Radio Sheffield: "I'm really pleased for our home fans. We put on a performance our home fans could enjoy. "We needed that second goal but we played some decent football at times. A lot has been said about our home form but that result is a stepping stone towards putting that right that tonight. "We will focus one the next game but we will enjoy tonight. " FT: Barnsley 2-0 Rotherham Les Payne Former Sheffield Star Rotherham United reporter on BBC Radio Sheffield Rotherham are a club that has been relegated three times and come straight back, there's an expectation. But away from home they've pushed forward but they don't create the opportunities that you expect with the players on the pitch. Looking at both sides, I thought Barnsley might have the edge and I really did think the first goal would be important and Barnsley got it. And in the first half they had more control that Rotherham didn't have. Rotherham pushed forward in the second half, but when you're 1-0 down you have to push forward. FT: Barnsley 2-0 Rotherham Adie Moses Ex-Barnsley defender on BBC Radio Sheffield Really pleasing night for us. Great, great night for Barnsley that could be a really big result for us. You can only beat what's put in front of you and, from what I've seen they seemed really up for it. They seemed a lot more positive. There were lads who seemed to be enjoying it, smiles on the faces. It was a really good performance and I think that result, beating Rotherham at home, we've turned a bit of that form round. Hopefully we can kick on at home as well now. I just think that tonight could really kick start us for another bit of a push. Barnsley 2-0 Rotherham Rotherham's wait for a visit to Barnsley to go their way goes a 56th year as Barnsley's confident performance sees them up to fourth on the League One table. The second-half was lot quieter for the home side, though it did see keeper Ben Killip forced into action for the one and only time when Rotherham substitute Jack Holmes' on-target shot needed to be denied by the Barnsley man's thigh. The visitors kept it tight after that to block several of the Tykes efforts to seal their win, but the frailty finally crept in when their defenders failed to get back in time to prevent Stephen Humphrys from slicing a ball into the top right-hand corner. It gives Barnsley a much wanted win at Oakwell against a local rival but for Rotherham, their away misery continues to roll on with many of their fans departed long before the final whistle. Barnsley 2-0 Rotherham Three minutes added to the clock but the visiting fans are already filtering out, ready to take the short trip back home empty handed. Again. Barnsley 2-0 Rotherham Les Payne Former Sheffield Star Rotherham United reporter on BBC Radio Sheffield That was an absolute peach of the strike. Dawson had no chance. But, as a defender, you would have wanted to take charge there and get that back up the park. Barnsley 2-0 Rotherham Luca Connell picks up a yellow and gives Rotherham a chance to get back into it with a freekick, albeit a slim one. Barnsley 2-0 Rotherham Adie Moses Ex-Barnsley defender on BBC Radio Sheffield A lovely strike from Humprhys, he caught it really well. But from a Rotherham perspective, you must be absolutely fuming. You want the centre-half to come through and and win that header. Humphry's just held his ground, he's let it bounce, got his body in between the defender and goal and smashed it on the volley with his left foot. Stephen Humphrys (85 mins) Well, I said he wanted to make an impact. Barnsley's Stephen Humphrys catches out the defensive line of Rotherham to find himself with a straight shoot-out with Millers keeper Cameron Dawson and there was only one winner. His clean, swift strike finds the top right corner of the net and now it feels like it's game over. Barnsley 1-0 Rotherham There he goes again. Barnsley substitute Stephen Humphrys backheels a pass to Adam Phillips who unleashes but the fingertips of Rotherham keeper Cameron Dawson sends the strike wide. Barnsley 1-0 Rotherham Barnsley's Stephen Humphrys tries to make an instant impact from the bench but hesitates on pulling the trigger to find a barricade of blue shirts in his way. Barnsley 1-0 Rotherham With things beginning to swing a little too close to Rotherham's liking, Barnsley make their first substitution of the night as Max Watters takes his leave with Stephen Humphrys in his place. Barnsley 1-0 Rotherham Les Payne Former Sheffield Star Rotherham United reporter on BBC Radio Sheffield That was Rotherham's best chance so far. Barnsley 1-0 Rotherham Rotherham's Liam Kelly commits a foul in the box and the book sees his name as the first to be added. Jon Russell gave Barnsley the lead over Rotherham following a corner Barnsley moved up to fourth in League One after a home win over South Yorkshire rivals Rotherham, who are now winless against the Tykes since 1982. Jon Russell opened the scoring before Stephen Humphrys came off the bench to double the lead late on. Joe Rafferty struck a fierce effort goalwards inside three minutes for the Millers, but an onrush of Barnsley defenders were able to block. The hosts took the lead after 32 minutes through Russell. After Cameron Dawson pulled off a spectacular save to deny his headed effort, he pounced on the loose ball and made no mistake to give his side the advantage. It looked as though Rotherham were going to level with 18 minutes to play when Jack Holmes was found at the back post, but Barnsley goalkeeper Ben Killip recovered well to keep a close-range effort out. Humphrys added a second for the Tykes with four minutes remaining when he found himself behind the last line of Rotherham defence and smashed into the bottom right corner from outside the box.
