Barnsley manager Danny Wilson says youngsters such as Reuben Noble-Lazarus, Paul Digby and Danny Rose are unlikely to feature for Barnsley this season.
When he took over as manager, Wilson said he would play them but only Digby has been used.
The manager said: "We have got a squad with some very good young players but we have to put the 11 out that will win the game and I think experience is key at this time in the season.
"This isn't the time to blood young players. You need time to do that and we haven't got time."
We have been at the heart of our community, every week, since 1858. The town and its people have changed dramatically since then but the Chronicle has been a constant.
It’s our belief that news should be available to everyone regardless of their circumstance. But we need a little helping hand to do so.
Production Editor, Ashley Ball, said: "In an ever changing media world, it’s important that news is reported correctly and without any hidden agenda.
Your support allows us to keep holding decision-makers to account and report on everything that happens in the town, good or bad, fairly."
