The 2019-20 campaign delivered a stunning 'great escape' for Barnsley as The Tykes secured their EFL Championship status with a dramatic 21st-place finish on the final day of the season. Leading the desperate fight was talismanic striker Cauley Woodrow, whose 14 league goals proved vital in a turbulent season that included managerial changes and culminated in a sensational, last-gasp run under Gerhard Struber. It was a memorable chapter of resilience and heart that cemented their place in the second tier.
