    Swapped the warm sunny days of Orlando for a cold ,wet day in Barnsley with possibly snow to come. Poor lad needs to adapt to conditions very quickly after what he has been used to.Good luck old lad!

    That's an unfortunate typo. When you Google D Duke, all it comes up with is an anti-semite, neo-nazi, conspiracy theorist.

    Coincidentally, he's also from Oklahoma.

    A lot of hype. Be good in some ways if we win easily today without him being involved to relieve some pressure off him. Although I suppose it would start all over again for the Chelsea game.

    He only got picked up by Orlando in the draft about a year ago. I’m sure he’s used to a bit of rain, snow, chilly air and wind (tornados?!) from being a native of Oklahoma.

    But how much better would it be if he got a hat trick today and then kicked on from there?
    ;):D

    I can't imagine any of the players fancy this weather but at least they have had time to acclimatise. First view of Championship football is an empty Oakwell on a cold ,wet Fenruary day. Welcome to Barnsley Football Club.

    He's not from Florida though, he's only been there a year. He's from Oklahoma that has cold winters and he was at Virginia the season before which gets pretty cold in winter.

    Its been 10 degrees in Orlando. The MLS season usually starts in February, its colder New York away at that time of year than Oakwell.

    Just been looking at his birthplace, Edmond, Oklahoma.

    It's in Tornado Alley and can get severe weather in the winter, snowstorms and ice storms.

    Worse than we get I imagine!!

    He'll get more chance to get rid of the jet lag thankfully
    Been twice. Not a problem going. Takes a week to recover when you come back. For me anyway
