Sports Mole previews the Championship clash between Barnsley and Blackpool at Oakwell on Saturday.

Barnsley welcome Blackpool to Oakwell on Saturday as they struggle in the midst of an injury crisis.

The Tykes' paper-thin squad has been stretched to the maximum as up to 10 players continue to battle niggling injuries, as well as a suspension to Bobby Hassell.

Mido is one of those on the sidelines and is not expected to be back in contention for a few weeks yet.

Ian Holloway may opt for Nouha Dicko in place of Kevin Phillips up front, while Matt Phillips could be named in the starting lineup.

Current form:

Barnsley: WLLW
Blackpool: WWWL

Possible lineups:

Barnsley: Gonzalez; Stones, Golbourn, Foster, Davies; Perkins, Wiseman, Mellis, Etuhu, Cywka; Harewood

Blackpool: Gilks; Crainey, Baptiste, Cathcart, Eardley; Martinez, Osbourne; Phillips, Taylor-Fletcher, Ince; Dicko

Sports Mole says: 0-2
