Barnsley Team News:
Barnsley are without Scott Goldbourne and Stephen Dawson while Kelvin Etuhu could make a return to the squad.
Ryan Tunnicliffe is set for a home debut.
If Flicker fails to land a left wing back in time then I am hearing noises that he will play 4-4-2 rather than the 3-5-2 that has served us so well in recent weeks.
I personally would persevere with 3-5-2 regardless but assuming no left wing back is signed the team I am hearing will be:
GK Steele
RB Delap
CB Cranie
CB McNulty
LB Kennedy
RM O`Brien
CM Tunnicliffe
CM Perkins
LM O`Grady
ST Dagnall
ST Harewood
Subs
Alnwick
Scotland
Cywka
Mellis
Etuhu
Foster
Wiseman
Player to watch: Tunnicliffe
First chance to see the Man Utd player for most fans.
Bolton Team News:

Player to watch: Craig Davies
