Barnsley are joint second top scorers in the division, so they must have had a tremendous amount of that luck you talk about this season. Hopefully, Zohore can maintain his current form and we can keep on presenting defences with more to deal with than the long, high ball to a static big man, because, in complete contrast to Barnsley's pace, movement, finishing ability and incisive passing, that's all we've had for most of the time this season.
