Barnsley boss Valerien Ismael says his side will relish their underdog tag in the play-offs.
He said: “We are the underdogs. When you see the four teams in the play-offs, we are the underdogs.
“We have our principle, desire and belief, and the players raise their own performance and discover
their own greatness.
“Mentally, we are really strong so that’s why I think, on the pitch, we can win but, on paper, we are the clear underdogs because it was not the expectation that Barnsley are where we are. But we are here because of our performance on the pitch.
“It is the reward for the players, they give everything on the pitc
“From the first minute until the last, they are completely dedicated on our way to play and our principle and it just shows that when you are organised, focused and believe in your strength anything is possible.
“That is the story from Barnsley this season, but the story is not finished.”
