Barnsley v Forest - Match Thread

How good were Pinillos and Lichaj last Saturday?! Very bloody good...which means that PMs comments about Pinillos definitely being missing and Lichaj potentially being missing as all the more worrying. Assombalonga might not feature either...

Cohen is definitely out, Cash is still on his way back. I think Traore is also still missing.

Bendtner, Hobbs and Vaughan could figure after recovering from injury.

The worst case team scenario:

Stojkovic
Mancienne Perquis Worrall Mills Fox
Lansbury Lam Kasami
Vellios Osborn

Henderson, Hobbs, Choz / Preston, Grant, Vaughan, Carayol, Bendtner.

Being positive in regards to the worst case scenario team then we might see another academy player feature.

If both Lichaj and Pinillos don't figure then at least Fox won't have to worry about defending so much, although both him and Mancienne lack the same dynamism going forwards.

Historically, we are poor at Barnsley, but if we can keep the same shape and drive then 3 points isn't unachievable.

Recent form:

Barnsley - LLWDDD
Forest - WLLLDW

My Prediction:

1-1 Vellios
