Neill Collins says he is loathe to make too many changes when Barnsley host Isthmian League Horsham in Friday's FA Cup first-round tie in case it disrupts his team's momentum.
It is far from unusual for a manager to talk about not wanting to make too many changes ahead of a modern cup tie, then overgaul his side completely so the proof will be in the team-sheet, but Collins is promising a strong side. As a League One side, Barnsley's reserves should be more than good enough to beat Horsham but the FA Cup is littered with examples of teams who have treated games like that, only to find out the reality is very different.
'My experience as a player is that too many changes can leave a team disjointed and that's not because the players aren't good enough, we've got lots of players I'd love to give an opportunity to and to consider. 'The fans can expect to see a strong side, a side that's capable of winning.
