Barnsley vs Coventry - Unchanged Barnsley ready to continue play-off push

Posted Monday, February 29, 2016 by PA

Barnsley caretaker boss Paul Heckingbottom could name an unchanged starting line-up for the home game against Coventry.

Heckingbottom has no new injury or suspension concerns after Saturday's 2-1 win at Crewe lifted his side to within three points of the top six.

On-loan Middlesbrough winger Harry Chapman is pushing for his first start after making his debut for the club at Crewe.

Adam Hammill sits out the second game of his three-match ban, while fellow winger Ryan Williams (groin) and defender Aidy White (ankle) remain sidelined.

Reice Charles-Cook will continue to deputise for goalkeeper Lee Burge after he was ruled out for the rest of the season following shoulder surgery.

Reda Johnson also remains sidelined with a serious hamstring injury he suffered earlier in the season.

Coventry's 2-1 home defeat to Fleetwood on Saturday put a dent in the Sky Blues' automatic promotion hopes to leave Tony Mowbray's side sixth in Sky Bet League One, 10 points behind the top two.

Mowbray told a press conference: "We should be beating the not so good sides at home comfortably. We're building a side and you need quality to do that and have the consistency to do that every week."
