BARNSLEY V CARDIFF CITY

-

Sky Bet Championsh­ip Where: Oakwell When: Tuesday, November 21 (7.45pm). Odds: Barnsley 27/11, Cardiff 11/8, Draw 5/2. Key men Sol Bamba (Cardiff City): The Ivorian is the lynchpin in a Cardiff defence that has enjoyed tremendous success so far this season. If Cardiff emerge with a win, he’ll have had something to do with it. Tom Bradshaw (Barnsley): The Welshman has six goals to his name so far this season and will certainly be the hosts’ main threat. Could give the best defence in the Championsh­ip a stern examinatio­n. What the managers have said Neil Warnock: I take my hat off to the lads. The character they showed, we made three subs because we had to. I didn’t want them to score late on and we managed to get a clean sheet which gives us a good platform to go to Barnsley. Paul Heckingbot­tom: “I would expect another tough physical test because they will do everything they can to win. That was one of my more frustratin­g games because we did well and we should have won but Cardiff came with a gameplan and got what they wanted.” Probable teams Barnsley: Davies; Yiadom, Fryers, MacDonald, Lindsay; Barnes, Hammill, Moncur, Potts; Bradshaw, Thiam. Cardiff: Etheridge; Paterson, Peltier, Bamba, Morrison; Gunnarsson; Feeney, Hoilett, Ralls, Bryson; Ward. Referee: David Coote
