Barnsley - Nottingham Forest

[Sniffer Dog (Admin)]

To be played at the Oakwell Stadium.

On Saturday 21 November.

Kick off is at 3PM.

its going to be a tough one that is for sure. Be nice to get a result against them considering the last few games.

I wonder if we will have a fully fit squad to choose from for Barnsley.

[Reds73]

Let’s hope so - I do worry about McKenna though.

Scotland have 3 games before we play Barnsley.

He has just played 7 games in 4 weeks, and then has another 8 to play in 4 weeks,

That potentially would be 18 games in 10 weeks.

That is a huge strain on the body.

That is a bit of a concern Reds73.

If CH does consider resting him, then I would hope that Worrall is fit and back in contention, as I truly have absolutely no faith in Blackett to provide adequate cover for him. Dawson is a consideration though, if his legs are up to it   ;)

Hopefully Mckenna will miss 1 of Scotland's games.

It would be in Steven Reid’s interests for that to be orchestrated.

Hopefully Mckenna will miss 1 of Scotland's games.

Let’s hope so because he certainly needs a rest.

It’s not just the physical toll, it’s the mental toll.

Your mind needs to switch off for a few days, and hopefully he will play Thursday and then miss then Sunday game. Then they play again on a Wednesday

I think they'll view it as three important games so will want him to play if fit

Given our last two outing's at Oakwell, I'm hoping that we approach this game with more positivity.

I really think we need a win going into matches against Bournemouth (4th), Swansea (6th), Watford (2nd), Reading (1st) and Norwich (3rd).

That's not me underestimating Barnsley, just mindful that the above fixtures are very tough on paper.

Assuming everybody is fit for Barnsley what would your team be?

Personally I wouldn't bring Grabban straight back in.
