Barnsley boss Michael Duff expects another “tight affair” against Wanderers at Oakwell on Friday night.

The Whites head to Yorkshire on level terms following a 1-1 draw in the first leg, with Dion Charles cancelling out Nicky Cadden’s opener.

Duff hopes his side can gain an extra “five or 10 per cent” from having a home crowd behind them.

"You don't always need (big) numbers to create a hostile environment,” he told The Yorkshire Post.

“I used to play for Northern Ireland at Windsor Park and there would be 15,000 there and sometimes, you'd think it was seventy or eighty thousand. We will have more than (Bolton) do, and hopefully they do their job and we can do our bit.

"We are playing against a good team and I think it is going to be a tight affair. But the performance was good the other day and we need another five or 10 per cent in our performance and hopefully the crowd can help us with that.

"I don't see any team winning four or five nil just because of the quality within the teams. We have two different ways of playing.

“They want to dominate the ball and build slowly and we are a bit more high tempo and aggressive with a high press."

Four of the last six meetings between the sides have ended in draws, and extra-time and penalties could be on the cards.

 

"If we don't win (in 90 minutes) we have obviously made contingency plans in terms of penalties and things,” Duff added.

"We have made five subs in most games since Christmas, so that is not unknown or unusual to us and we change the team a lot to keep it fresh as we do play with intensity and energy. Sometimes, you need to change - particularly the front part of the team.

"I don't know the facts but I'd imagine in 70 or 80 per cent (of games), we have made five subs. That won't be uncommon to us."

The Tykes, who finished fourth in the League One table, are aiming to make an immediate return to the Championship.

"We have got an opportunity to get promoted. Ultimately, did anyone think we had a chance this season? I don't think so, just because of the chaos in the summer,” the manager explained.

"But there is no, 'this is a free hit now' - we are here to win. If we do get to Wembley, there will be no knee-slides from the halfway line to the crowd, giving it big swan dives."
