I'd like to see a strong side against Barnsley for a number of reasons. Although a tough game, it is important for squad morale to develop a winning habit. Confidence is key in football - if you take the field expecting to win and put in the work, you usually do. We do NOT want a wimpish exit as at Shrewsbury!!
A good cup run will also benefit the bank account which will help offset the expense of our new January signings. Now, I'm well aware that staying in the PL will be more beneficial than anything but why not try for both? We could put out a decent side without overplaying some of the regulars but we would need a thread of experience. How about - Tremmel: Jazz, Monk, Ash (or Caulker), Bessone, Routledge, Dobbie, Sigurdsson, Orlandi, Sinclair, Lita.
If we were winning I'd sub Sinclair for Dyer and play the game out with the starters. If we needed them, my other subs would be Moreira, Graham, Allen, Britton, Gower and Taylor. That side should be good enough without tiring out the regulars.
