    Does Big Val go for it big style or mix things up a bit and see how the dice rolls?

    He's already said he'll be fielding his strongest team hasn't he? A win today ( or at least some goals) will be invaluable to getting us back winning in the league.

    I think it’s important we play well, and score a goal or two, or at least create some real chances. But it’s not all that important that we make it to the next round.

    Massive for us this year. The amount of revenue riding on this 90 minutes could be the different between new contracts and players out of the door.

    It's the single biggest opportunity to increase revenue. Especially with Chelsea at Oakwell on the horizon.

    Chelsea at oakwell would be great and I'd be really excited if we beat Norwich any other season. But Chelsea at home with no fans doesn't excite me much tbh.

    But surely it heightens your excitement levels even if it doesn't hit the heights of us being there in person? Just having Barnsley on that platform and being talked about excites me. Always proud to see us being discussed amongst the big six and I would love looking back at the last time we played them in the FA Cup when I think Frank Lampard was in midfield - even if we can't be there. It's all about the base level of excitement and I'd rather us be playing Chelsea than Norwich.

    Put a strong team out, go for a win and try and keep confidence high. Plus there's an added bonus of playing a PL team in the next round

    Why are we writing Luton off?

    I have a simplistic view that the next game is always the most important.

    I hope we do well in the cups and I hope we do well in the league. It's never a choice in my eyes.

    I'd like us to stay in the competition along as possible but Chelsea at home in the f.a Cup how good would it be with fans there compared to without. I can see your point ive already seen us against Chelsea this season under struber lets hope if we get through we can give them a more competitive game.

    The shop window of the FA Cup gets bigger the further you get in the competition, why would our owners not want this.

    Nobody has really mentioned Chelsea other than me. And I said 'on the horizon' which it is.

    If it's Luton then the original point still stands - what an opportunity to progress even further and generate even more revenue through prize money.
