    People bang on about poor league form, -10 gd etc but this is the cup. If they give it a good go and have good support they could cause an upset. We can't take them lightly and a loss would dent our confidence.

    It's fairly common practise for teams to give no.2 keepers a run in the cup games.

    Lets face it if we played Boruc and he got injured or sent off some on here would go ballistic!

    Davis is our second keeper....he should play to get some game time.

    Davies
    Clyne Yosi/stephens. Jos. Fox
    Cork. Davis.
    Ramirez. Guly. Mayuka
    Osvaldo

    That's a fairly strong team considering there no current first 11(last 2 games) players in it

    Sky just said Shaw and Morgan injury doubts for Tuesday. Don't care about Barnsley game as I doubt either would have played, but concerning nevertheless. I know Shaw was tackled strongly and it may be unrelated to his previous injury, but I do wonder if he was rushed back to soon. Does anyone know what is wrong with Spider?

    It'll be interesting to see the U21 team today, in particular anyone missing from the side.

    To be fair, the XI that played against Leeds including Seaborne, Reeves, Butterfield, Chaplow, De Ridder and Lee.

    Slightly different to Fox, Cork, Davis and Gaston.

    We actually have some depth in the squad this season to utilise, as you also say.

    I would like Ramirez and Cork to get a full game and Osvaldo half a game. Other than that we have a very strong '2nd' team that should be good enough.

    You obviously didn't see Mauricio's face when asked if Dani would play against Barnsley. I wouldn't hold your breath.

    We need to put a strong side out, as Barnsley will be up for it, and are probably not as bad a side as the league table suggests. The 2 games they have been hammered in they have had a man sent off, and they were actually 0-1 up at Blackburn until they went down to 10 men.

    Take your point Totton but we should be able to put out a very strong side and still rest a few key players.

    u 21s Johns, Young, McCarthy, Turnbull, Targett, Moore, Flannigan, Sims, Sinclair, Gallagaher, Seager.
    bench: Cropper (GK), Colmer, Robinson, Branker, Mugabi.

    Britt, stephens, rowe, reed are the previous players out that I can see. I would much prefer to see turnbull than stephens, but the other 3 would all deserve some match time, particularly britt although he's the most unlikely. He is quite possibly our 2nd best goalie

    Barnsley will be without defender Jean-Yves Mvoto, who serves a one-game ban following his sending off at Blackburn.
    The Tykes may hand a debut to winger Paddy McCourt, who joined the club last week.
    Southampton could give a first start to record signing Daniel Osvaldo, who arrived from AS Roma this month.
    Midfielder Morgan Schneiderlin is a fitness doubt and may not feature, while Luke Shaw has a knee problem which could prevent him from playing.
    [h=2]MATCH FACTS[/h][h=3]Head-to-head[/h]
    • Southampton are unbeaten in their last five games against Barnsley.
    • Saints are chasing a fourth consecutive win against the Tykes.
    • Southampton won the only previous League Cup tie between the sides, winning a third round tie 2-1 at Oakwell in October 1997.
    [h=3]Barnsley[/h]
    • The Tykes were knocked out of the League Cup by Premier League opposition last season, losing 3-1 at Swansea in the second round.
    • They have conceded 12 times in their four league games so far this season.
    • Chris Dagnall has scored six times in his last seven appearances in the League Cup.
    [h=3]Southampton[/h]
    • The 1979 runners-up were eliminated from the League Cup by Championship opposition last season, losing 3-0 at Leeds in the fourth round.
    • It was their first defeat against lower league rivals in the League Cup since since a loss Rotherham in 2008.
    • Saints have drawn six of their last eight games (all in the Premier League), scoring just five goals.
