The upcoming weekend is set to be an exhilarating one as Derby County comes to visit South Yorkshire for a highly anticipated match at the top of the table. In honour of this special occasion, we are thrilled to present a unique edition of the Oakwell Review in support of Weston Park Cancer Charity’s annual takeover day.
Our featured cover star and primary interview subject in this edition is the talented Adam Phillips, who will discuss his personal journey and outstanding recent performances for the Rams. He will also share his aspirations of guiding the Reds to promotion this season, reflecting on a controversial moment at Wembley and his determination to put things right this time around.
Furthermore, we will provide an in-depth analysis of our opponents from Pride Park, shedding light on their head coach Paul Warne, as well as players Conor Hourihane and Nathaniel Méndez-Laing. Additionally, we will explore previous encounters between the two teams and highlight 12 players who have represented both Barnsley and Derby County.
In a special column, football historian Leigh Edwards will offer insights on 10 former Derby players who rose from non-league football to make their mark in the sport. We will also hear from the dedicated team at Weston Park Cancer Charity, who will provide more details about the takeover day and our ongoing partnership to raise awareness about their incredible work.
For those who appreciate statistical analysis, we will present the latest data from within the Barnsley camp at both first team and academy levels, along with up-to-date information from across the division. Moreover, Barnsley FC Community Trust will provide an update on their Premier League Community Captain for 2024.
Young fans can look forward to a range of engaging activities towards the back of the programme, as well as space to collect autographs from their favourite Reds players. All of this and more can be found in the Derby County edition of Oakwell Review, available for purchase from our programme sellers at the stadium or the Box Office. Alternatively, you can order your copy online.
We encourage you to acquire a copy of this special edition and demonstrate your support for both Barnsley FC and Weston Park Cancer Charity. Here’s to an thrilling game and a successful campaign ahead!
