Tommy Wright is in line to make his home debut and could partner Paul Hayes upfront. Scott Flinders will fight Nick Colgan for the goalkeeping jersey after the young England stopper has started every cup game this season bar The FA Cup First Round tie with Darlington. To note though, that cup game is the only one The Reds have kept a clean sheet in!
Probable LineUp:
Nick Colgan/Scott Flinders
Neil Austin
Matt Carbon
Paul Reid
Robbie Williams/Dale Tonge
Martin Devaney/Stephen McPhail
Jacob Burns
Brian Howard
Chris Shuker
Paul Hayes
Tommy Wright
The Reds have only ever faced Walsall once before in the FA Cup. A 3-1 defeat back in January 1937.
But our recent home record against the Saddlers is pretty impressive. We have won the last FIVE encounters at Oakwell with Walsall not registering a victory here since 1983. Barnsley defeated Walsall at Oakwell 2-1 back in October which moved them into the play-off places.
