Rob Wildey speaks to Jason Hatton, a Barnsley fan ahead of Blues’ trip to Oakwell.

LET’S START WITH THE RECENT 3-0 AT ST. ANDREWS. WHY DO BARNSLEY ALWAYS PLAY LIKE BARCELONA AGAINST US?

You can call us Barnselona! Haha. I don’t know what it is with an away game at Birmingham. We love it. Especially the 5-0 a few years ago. We may be your bogey side, away from home anyway.

BARNSLEY CURRENTLY SIT 10th IN THE CHAMPIONSHIP. IS THE PLAY-OFFS A REAL POSSIBILITY?

Behave. We’re not there yet. I’d love it to happen but in truth, if we went up, we’d be the whipping boys. We are progressing as a team and as a club which is highly encouraging but we will take a mid table finish with a smile.

HOW WILL BARNSLEY APPROACH THE GAME?

Hopefully the same as they did as St. Andrews. Whatever we did worked so more of the same will do.

IF YOU COULD SIGN ONE BIRMINGHAM PLAYER FOR THE BARNSLEY TEAM, WHO WOULD IT BE AND WHY?

I like Clayton Donaldson to be honest. Big, strong and scores some goals. He may be looking leggy now (obviously he’s injured at the moment) but he’s still a dangerous player.

WHAT’S YOUR PREDICTION FOR THE GAME?

Hmmm, heart vs head here. Heart wins. 1-0 Tykes!
