“It is nice putting names on the bench but it is better having players that can come on and make an impact, so we will pick our squad accordingly.”
Craig Mackail-Smith (Achilles) is still hopeful of a return before the New Year, while Will Hoskins (knee) remains a long-term absentee.
Rohan Ince and Matthew Upson will be available for the visit of the Tykes despite picking up knocks during the 1-1 draw with Bournemouth.
