BARNSLEY v MIDDLESBROUGH
Championship: Oakwell, 3pm
TOM BRADSHAW believes his explosive start to the season is proving the critics wrong. The Barnsley striker’s seven goals earned him a place in the Wales squad for the World Cup qualifiers. Bradshaw, 25, who faces Middlesbrough today, only scored eight times last term after moving from League One Walsall. “I think I’m proving to a few doubters that I can do it at this level,” said Bradshaw (left). “I always expected to score a lot of goals. I did it in League One repeatedly with Walsall and I believe I can do it in the Championship as well.”
