I’d be amazed if any of that’s true.
Gotta be a win here I feel. We are better than them, and will play it around. They will have to rely on breakaways.

So far this season we have played far more on the break. It is almost as if the MK Cup game was a preparation for this style, as we retreated and allowed them a lot of the ball. In that game, unlike the other 3 we have played, we conceded a lot of chances. Even the second half against QPR, though much improved on the first, I felt that they had more possession. We were hurting them almost every time we went forward however, in the second period. If what the Barnsley chap says is true, I wouldn’t be surprised if the same tactic is employed, we allow them the ball, try to smother any creativity and hit them on the break. I hope we win obviously but I am expecting a difficult game. I would be happy with the draw.Gotta be a win here I feel. We are better than them, and will play it around. They will have to rely on breakaways. That is where we need to be careful. Giles is the left wing back for sure. Rose should return to get our system and players that are used to the system back together. Sheaf should start and take his chance to stamp his place in the side. Kelly, Shippers and Walker on the bench.

Not sure I agree with any of that I'm afraid.
I don't know how people can say we are better than any team in this league except Rotherham and Wycombe.
I do think we'll be fine this season, but there seems to be a bit of arrogance or giddiness after one win.
I agree and i wouldnt drop Osti either, but we cant keep conceding 2/3 goals a game, so it wouldnt surprise me if Rose does get his chance sooner rather than later!Can't drop Ostigard at the moment - he's earned the shirt for now.
Rose for McFadz
Fadz is the leader at the back. Despite the odd hiccough, he stays where he is. On a side note, we have some seriously good centre backs at the club - a long time since I can remember us having such strength in that area. Fadz, Rose and Ostigard all have a bit of steel about them, and if Dom changed his name to Angus or Rocky I'd include him as well (Dom sounds too soft!)
Yeah they’re both one game suspensions as far as I’m aware. So they’ll miss tonight’s game.
Yep, they’re not exactly teenagersI know he’s a leader and the captain at the minute in the absence of Kelly but he’s made an error contributing to a goal in both league games so far.
Rose and Hyam both played 100+ games, ostigard played full seasons in Norway and Germany and all the Norwegian youth teams I’m sure they would be OK without him.

Have they changed the rules regarding a straight red card then?

Yeah, I too thought a suspension from a league sending off couldn’t be served in the cup?I

Is it just those two that are being rested? I'm not very familiar with the Barnsley starting XI. Mowatt is playing who I think is a starter for them.Looks like Barnsley are resting Chaplin and Thomas today. On the bench.
Watching Chelsea v Barnsley. Barnsley giving it a real go. Had 3 good chances v one for Chelsea. Anyone who thinks we're in for a simple game is nuts.

Was hoping their 1st team would spend 90 minutes chasing shadows tonight.
1-0 down due to an error, but incredible work rate. Hoping Barnsley players get knocks now!!Yup it's all Barnsley against a fairly strong Chelsea team.
Chelsea 2 goals from 4 chances. Barnsle 0 from about 6 (although a couple of decent saves in there). Definitely no mugs.2-0 now
That seems a bit harsh on defendersThink its just one match ban for denying a goal scoring opportunity
