Barnsley Away

What is the general opinion on the cup draw?

Another lower league team, but is that better than playing a top team?

Do you expect us to win, or will it be a fall at the second hurdle?

I reckon we should go through, but I can't see a big win, especially after the Brentford game where the players seemed to be "saving themselves" for Man Utd.

It's definitivly not a walkover, although if we field our best starting eleven i think we'll be ok. Should be aware of Bruce Dyer- he is a good player.

They made Leeds look pretty average at Elland Road in the FAC last season. We shouldn't take them lightly. But I think we'll just manage a win. Then fall to Birmingham in the next round. Again. ;-)

Barnsley have a comedy bulldog for a club crest. Says it all really.

Ah Barnsley .... "p> It's just like watching Brazil"

Since they fell from the EPL, they've strugled a bit and been through a few managers haven't they? Do they still play like Brazil? If so we'll cruise past them.

Funny that their new away strip is the Old Brazil yellow, green collar and cuffs

They're not the same team since they flogged Hignett.
