Only Lindsay in the starting XI Looks like 442 to me Walton Williams Jackson Lindsay B. Williams Izzy McGeehan Bird Bahre Brown Victor Brave, considering the rules
No rule breach you have to have 4 players who either played in your previous game or next game. So Lindsey, mcgeehan, big victor all played Saturday And I would imagine, Lindsey, mcgeehan, Bähre and Walton will all stay in the team for Walsall
All rules met from what I can see. Lindsay, Jackson, McGeehan & Isgrove are the 4 Qualifying outfield players
Mcgeehan, jackson, victor abd isgrove didn't start the other day did they? Edit just realised they only have to meet one criteria not all
Still a very competitive team, or at least should be. Another fantastic opportunity for some players to show what they can do. I think this competition could prove very useful for giving game time to our less regular starters and if we do well, we may end up with a fun few games and possibly a trip to Wembley. We've got to play in it so let's go for it, winning breeds confidence. I hope we avoid the U23's as much as possible though.
Big night for two of my former schoolmates from Ryhill, as their sons are both named on the bench for the first time tonight. Good luck to Jake Greatorex and Jordan Helliwell on the start of your Barnsley 1st team careers.
Another thumbs up for Stendel from me. I know we have to fulfil certain criteria, but the last thing I'd want to see is one of the first team players getting crocked in this shambles of a tournament. Plus it's a good chance for some of the fringe/development players to impress.
Why ? Time to make your stand is before the competition began , campaign for change of rules , refuse to take part or whatever but do not run the risk of fines etc by breaching competition rules once the competition has begun .
