Wrexham travel to take on Barnsley at Oakwell on Saturday morning, looking to break their duck against the hosts. The Red Dragons have lost on no less than 11 of the 14 visits.
The last time the two teams met at Barnsley was amazingly over twenty years ago, in November 1981, where the two teams cancelled each other out in an enthralling 2 - 2 draw in a Second Division match.
