Preview: Barnsley vs. Blackpool

Barnsley welcome Blackpool to Oakwell on Saturday as they struggle in the midst of an injury crisis.

The Tykes' paper-thin squad has been stretched to the maximum as up to 10 players continue to battle niggling injuries, as well as a suspension to Bobby Hassell.

Mido is one of those on the sidelines and is not expected to be back in contention for a few weeks yet.

Ian Holloway may opt for Nouha Dicko in place of Kevin Phillips up front, while Matt Phillips could be named in the starting lineup.

Current form:

Barnsley: WLLW
Blackpool: WWWL

Possible lineups:

Barnsley: Gonzalez; Stones, Golbourn, Foster, Davies; Perkins, Wiseman, Mellis, Etuhu, Cywka; Harewood

Blackpool: Gilks; Crainey, Baptiste, Cathcart, Eardley; Martinez, Osbourne; Phillips, Taylor-Fletcher, Ince; Dicko

Sports Mole says: 0-2
