Well, like most people in the UK, I know barely anything about Barnsley other than it is a nondescript industrial/mining town somewhere in South Yorkshire.
I do not really see them as true rivals but funnily enough, most Barnsley fans see the Mighty Whites as bitter rivals. I think this is more to do with most people in Barnsley supporting our Famous White Shirt then some guys who play for their local team.
Liam Kitching and Clarke Odour are ex LUFC and both may feature in this game. Not sure about the others we gave to them a few years back, like Halme
Barnsley may be 16th in L1 at the moment but their players will be up for this. A good crowd is expected as is a lot of noise!
I expect JM to rest a load and go for something like:
KK
Drameh Koch Struijk Helde
Forshaw Greenwood
Jimmy Klitch Sinister-Terror
Joffy
Like the Prem, 5 subs are allowed from 9 so I expect our bench to be something like:
Christy, Mullen, Cooper, Gray, Bamford, Darko, Llorente, James and Jenkins
So finally got to watch the game and I got 5 thing out of this game.
1) Cooper and Forshaw are barely able to fill the back up bench role for this new Marsh style.
2) Dremah, Summerville are going to be very good players.
3) Gelthart needs game time otherwise he will turn into another Roberts.
4) Greenwood needs to play as a Forward or number 10. He is not a DCM.
5) Sinesterra has a ridiculous ability to change speeds. He goes from zero to top speed in a heart beat and then drops it to slow in a stride and back to top speed again. It going to be hard to defend when he is fully fit.
Well Done BB
Wolves next up for you my good man.
Start the research and trolling through previous encounters as we all expect a solid UnOfficial MDT containing at least 15,000 words (& photos) for Round 3 😉
Turned over SSN to watch Rhinos but kept flicking back.
Sinister-Terror involved in all 3 goals.
Cannot believe it has been 1 year and 3 days since Klitch's last goal for us!
Congrats BB, you take us to Wembley and I’ll lead us into Europe!! LOL😁
2-0 LUFC Klitch pen

Rearrange these 5 words.
Walk.....in......the.......park
And you will have the answer to what this game is for us tonight.
A little known fact about the poster "bull think with drink" he is so called because his weather forecast are bull5h1t. It won't get darker during the match as the flood lights deal with that. It only gets darker as you get further away from the ground afterwards. I doubt you would get a torch passed security anyway this season. Another embarrassing forecast for lad but he keeps trying. Bit like Billy Paynter.
5-0
If anyone gets a link to this game please let the rest of us know
Apparently, the game will be played in front of a full house of 36k+ with all tickets sold and limited availability in the boxes.
Just hope we get through and get another home game.
Good luck BB
A cup game to help us all come down off the clouds after Sunday.
Would hope that Jesse uses this game to offer a chance for the fringe players to show him what they got, and hopefully come away with a comprehensive 3-0 victory to give him a right headache on who to select on Saturday against Brighton 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
3-0 Home win

Fading light so bring a torch
Havent been beaten by Barnsley since 2017 and im confident that run will continue
good luck BB,great mdt.
the team I would pick would be
KK
Dremah coops Koch Hjelde
Forshaw Gyabi
Summerville Klich Sinistera
Joffy
bench-Robles, Strujic, Carole, Llorente,Adams, greenwood, Sonny, James ,Gray
with Greenwood & Sonny definitely getting some minutes off the bench
I'm predicting a hard fought 3-1 victory with goals from Joffy, Greenwood & Perkins.
I don't mind Coops playing in this game but PLEASE don't break up the Koch/Llorente partnership when they are looking so good together after a run of games....
Summerville and Sinesterra HAVE to play ahead of James in this.... we're so lucky Jimmy hasn't left yet and doesn't even seem to play in these types of games....
Well thought out tread 2-1 LEEDS
That XI looks pretty good though I think James might play from the start and then later be subbed for Summerville. Marsh has been bigging Hjelde up in the media so I’d say he’s definitely playing. I’d like Drameh to play but suspect Jessie might stick Koch on the right as he did last season, which opens up a spot for Cooper. Something like this:
KK
Koch Llorente Cooper Hjelde
Forshaw Greenwood
James Klich Sinisterra
Gelhardt
subs
Robles, Drameh, Gyabi, Gray, Adams, Summerville, Rodrigo, Harrison, Perkins
Good luck mate keep upp the form
I'd try and get Gyabi and Sonny Perkins in the actual team.... or at least the squad
Quality MDT and good luck BB on your run to Wembley....
I'd take that team but would try and take Koch and Strujik out to protect them....
It shows we now have a good squad and should be more than enough to beat Barnsley and give us a measure of just how far these boys are from our 1st team....
Going for a positive 2-0 victory with Geldhart grabbing both....
I reckon that team won't be far away BB.
Good luck for a prolonged MDT, it's been a long time since we got anywhere near a cup and if we are relatively safe in the Premier League this one might be worth having a good go at.
Good luck BB, I hope we put a team out capable of winning the game, so the youngsters can get a bit of a run.
