Gone for a draw, another tough one in the same week but out of the two this would be the tougher of the two, but Tuesday night was a result out of the blue so if we play like we did Tuesday r then who knows.

I am sure it may impact the crows but players are of an age to probably have no emotional attachment to him at all

Agreed. Can't see our game being impacted when Timmy Mallet dies.

At least this is someone worth applauding. I get bored of the minute applause for some obscure old board member of away teams. Every time we do this it diminishes the effect.

It's a game you don't expect much from but we do look dangerous on the break which I think is how it will pan out .Sneak one you never know I think we would all take a point .

Not sure I'd agree with that, I never have a problem with a minutes applause for someone who has dedicated their life to serving a football club.

Herbie Kane ran the show against us last season. Doesn't seem in the best of spirits right now...

‘Organisers’ wanted with Reds ‘desperate’ to keep Kitching

Barnsley’s highly rated midfielder Luca Connell has an illness and is unavailable and with central defender Liam Kitching the subject of much transfer speculation and a seemingly unhappy Kane, it could mean its a good time to play the Tykes. Still have many quality players though.

Of course Barnsley sold their best defender Mads Andersen to Luton in the summer and James Norwood moved to Oldham.

We haven’t won at Oakwell since April 1993.

 

[Foley]

So McEachran for McGuane and maybe Rodriques coming back in?
Or the same side as Tuesday?

Is it time for "BELIEVE" to make a forum comeback? This post has me in that camp

Me too. Have just changed my vote from draw to away win.

As opposed to a dull man off telly …

Start the same then change when required

 

[Sarge]

Barnsley are going to be more of a physical side than Derrby were- hope the referee has more balls than Ben Homer Toner was on Tuesday evening ( failed to give a pen, and failed giving deserved red cards IMO )

 

[Osei Yaw]

I get the feeling that with our squad as it currently is, we'll fare better against teams that want to attack us a bit more and get men up the pitch. We've got a few players who can exploit pockets of space and get in behind, but not so many that help us when we need to get at a deep back line.

For that reason I hope Barnsley have a real good go at us tomorrow and are left in a bewildered state at half time after Harris has bagged a first half hat trick.

McGuane was our best player Tuesday so can't see him being dropped.

I would actually like to see us play all 3 at some point and give Cam & McGuane more of a license, perhaps this would be the ideal game as they have a very good midfield 3.

I can't see that happening, but I can see one of the three behind Harris being rotated, either Rodrigues for Bodin or Mills for Goodrham perhaps?

Not sure McGuane should be dropped after Tuesday's performance. Rodrigues for Bodin though.

 

[ThatSlopesATwelfthMan]

I'd say this is a perfect game for the old "don't change a winning team" line. We have some nice options if that doesn't work but must be worth another run out for the same starting eleven to see how they fare. Can't see Bodin being dropped, not least because he's our most experienced head. Whatever happens I'm really looking forward to this one.
