Well Barnsley will be interesting . If we lose and play the same tactics as last time all hell will be let loose and the gaffer will certainly feel the wrath of the keyboarders. I hope he’s learned whilst we have no devine right to win every game and we must respect every team we play we need to at least give a good account of ourselves and play for a win .

[Sniffer Dog (Admin)]

Will we see 3 at the back tomorrow?

You serious David?
Tomorrow’s game means bugger all.
The season proper doesn’t start until next week.

What we won’t see is anything like the starting X1 for the QPR game.
Be surprised to see more than 7 or 8 of the starters for next week starting tomorrow.

Will we see a team with a 25 million wage turnover turn up, show some fight and bottle and beat the mighty Barnsley?

'Ohhhh, you're a bloody disgrace. For missing the target from there you want bloody shooting!' Brian Clough.

Means everything. Winning is a habit.

*shrugging our shoulders to the likes of Barnsley.

25 million turnover in wages Forest? For that kind of money. I want Barnsley hung, drawn and quartered.

They're the competition. Muck and bloody nettles Barnsley.

It will be interesting to see what formation and how the team are set up for this one.

Showing some bottle and fight.  Understanding just what the Championship is about.

Agreed. I'm sure Barnsley's manager has already said he'll be treating it pretty much as a friendly. I'd rather give the likes of Mighten, Jake Taylor and Jayden Richardson a game tomorrow to get an idea of if they're ready to play against Championship opponents, than put out a full-strength team.

[Sausage Roll]

Presuming we play the same formation as last season, I'd go:

--------------------------------------Smith-----------------------------------

Richardson-----------Blackett----------------Dawson--------------Bong

-----------------------J Taylor-----------Yates-----------------------------

Mighten------------------------Carvalho--------------------------Da Costa

----------------------------------L Taylor--------------------------------------


Wouldn't be risking the likes of Lolley, Sow or Colback. Let's see what some of the squad players can do.
