AFC Bournemouth v Barnsley

Last updated : 28 February 2006 By Rob Miles (barnsley Boy)

Strikers Marc Richards and Daniel Nardiello both return to the squad tonight after serving suspensions and Richards could replace Tommy Wright up front.

New loanee Kyle Nix could make the bench in place of the outgoing Jacob Burns but after such an excellent result at the weekend Andy Ritchie should keep things as they are.

Probable LineUp:

Nick Colgan

Neil Austin

Bobby Hassell

Antony Kay

Paul Heckingbottom

Chris Shuker

Brian Howard

Stephen McPhail

Martin Devaney

Paul Hayes

Marc Richards/Tommy Wright

Barnsley travel to Bournemouth undefeated there since 1989 (albeit only a total of 2 visits)

Last time out The Reds earned a Marvellous 3-1 victory at Dean Court which earned them " Performance of the Week" back in October 2004.

The last meeting though between the teams was at Oakwell just over a year ago on 19th February 2005 where Bournemouth secured a 1-0 victory.

If the Reds do beat Bournemouth tonight (a team without a win in 7 games) they would move to 2nd in League One.
