Barnsley to go for City jugular

fa-cup-2Barnsley defender Bobby Hassell says the Championship outfit will have a go at Manchester City when they travel to Eastlands in the FA Cup quarter-finals.


The 32-year-old is just one of three players left at Oakwell part of the South Yorkshire club's last remarkable run in the competition when they beat Chelsea and Liverpool to reach the semi-finals in 2008.

A spot in the last four and a trip to Wembley is the prize on offer to the winners on Saturday, with Barnsley confident they can pull off a big upset.

So far Barnsley have disposed of Burnley, Hull City and MK Dons to reach this stage of the competition and are priced at 201.00 to go all the way and lift the trophy.

The Tykes good run in the cup has coinsided with a decent string of performances in the Championship, winning eight of the last 13 matches in the second tier.

After a distraous start to the season Barnsley are on of the form teams in the Championship and Hassell has warned the 2011 FA Cup winners City they will have a fight on their hands for a place in the semi-finals.

Having watched League Two Bradford get demolished in the Capital One Cup final recently Hassell is keen for Barnsley to at least have a go at City and not go out with a whimper.

“We don’t want to do what Bradford did and not perform,” said Hassell. “This match is like a final for us because we’re playing such a great team, but I went to the Capital One Cup final and thought Bradford never had a go.

“Hopefully we can just relax and enjoy the game. At the end of the day if we get beat 5-0 then no one is going to say anything because we’re not expected to win.”

City disposed of Barnsley's Yorkshire rivals Leeds in the last round and are 1.12 to claim the scalp of another lower league club, with the Tkyes 19.00 and the draw 8.00.
