Barnsley vs Leyton Orient preview - As you were for Wilson's milestone

Posted Friday, December 19, 2014 by PA

Barnsley boss Danny Wilson is expected to choose his starting XI for the home game against Leyton Orient from an unchanged squad.

Wilson, who will take charge of his 1000th game, has no new injury or suspension concerns as his side chase their first league win in five matches, but still has several players out injured.

Striker Sam Winnall (hamstring) has missed the last four games, on-loan Fulham winger Ryan Williams (groin) is still out and defenders Lewin Nyatanga, Jean-Yves Mvoto, Joe Dudgeon and James Bree are all struggling with knocks.

Kane Hemmings is expected to resume up front alongside Manchester City loanee Devante Cole, while winger Dale Jennings underlined his return to full fitness with a double in the midweek FA Cup replay win at Chester.

Orient could be without five strikers for the long trip north.

Definitely out are Chris Dagnall, who is suspended, Darius Henderson with a foot injury and Kevin Lisbie, who is still recovering from a dislocated shoulder.

In addition, David Mooney missed out against Peterborough last weekend due to a hamstring problem and Gianvito Plasmati has been struggling with a knee injury, meaning Shaun Batt had to lead the line on his own as Orient slipped to a 2-1 defeat.

Midfielder Lloyd James will be out until the new year as he recovers from a broken leg.
