Head Coach looks ahead to tonight's Group F tie with Bradford City.
It's our final group stage fixture of this season's Bristol Street Motors Trophy tonight, as Barnsley head across Yorkshire to Bradford in a 7.30pm kick off.
Both clubs have already ensured their presence in the knockout phase of the competition after victories over both Man City U21s and Grimsby Town.
The winner of tonight's tie will settle top spot in the group and determine who will receive home advantage in the last 32.
For Neill Collins, it's a chance to give valuable minutes to a number of players in what should be a competitive clash with a local rival.
He told us, ahead of the match at Valley Parade: "Tonight’s game comes at a perfect time after the international break over the weekend. It’s a great opportunity for players that need an opportunity to play and also for some of our younger players to get their chance to be play at a higher level.
"The players have done a great job of winning the first two games in this tournament that mean we have already qualified but we will be doing everything we can to win again this evening.
"Having 500 of our own fans there will be a huge help and I’m sure it will inspire the players to put on a performance they can get excited about."
