It was a much changed line up for us and maybe for yourselves as well, which shows how little we and most other clubs care about it. Thankfully its not over 2 legs anymore!.
...and straight to pens instead of extra time which teams can't afford especially at this stage of the season - even more so in L1 when you have to play Sat/Tues most weeks. Yup we rested 5 (2 came on towards the end) as our main priority is to at least stabilise in L1 but the lads who came in are supposedly competing for a starting spot so they're expected to perform and there were serious concerns they were getting outclassed after the first 25 minutes. Hope the Tykes do well this year - you certainly looked good enough compared to the Preston and Blackburn teams we played in preseason.
