Stevenage impressed me at Oakwell with their shape and organisation but I've a feeling that we'll sneak this one 2-1. The footballing Gods are currently smiling on us and we're getting the rub of the green it has to be said.
Our first ever visit to Stevenage and I understand it's another sold out away end , around 1300 .
Let's hope the game goes ahead because the vast majority will be well on their way down the M1 when the pitch inspection is taking place .

I've just got this feeling that today's game (if still on) will be the one where the wheels come off and all the fortune we have been having recently averages out and we get an arseoylin 4-1. The beginning of a Portsmouth style "blip".
I am quite happy to have egg on my face at 5-00pm.
The Old Hags of 'Arnd Hill have cackled, "Beware the one who calls himself Steve Evans. He is more than just a big gob".
Evans will be well informed on our lack of defensive quality and how that back three are easily unsettled .
Never thought I'd be saying this but we could do with McCart back today simply on the basis he's better than Shepherd , although that's not a particularly high bar .
I expect Stevenage to come flying out of the traps and get stuck right in to us , something we did to Peterborough recently which again Evans will be well aware of .
Potentially a very testing and difficult afternoon awaits , the football God's as you say SB maybe about to close the page on this lucky trot and reality strikes .
Hopefully not .
What about trying Russell in centre defence until Pines gets cleared? He isn't any good as a midfielder, he's 6ft 4in and isn't very mobile, only issue could be he can't get more than 3 inch off the ground!
Based on the Brizzle game Shepherd has a future, it's just a bit early in his career for him.
Stevenage v Barnsley still on as it stands. There will be another pitch inspection later on though. Still in the balance.
1pm for second inspection.
Nice to see football supporters are being thought of again. What an absolute crazy situation.
