I'm expecting a routine Barnsley win tonight. 

I think we'll have a lot of these types of games this season where we're not on the same level as some clubs.

Would be nice to nick something though all the same!

Me too, hoping they surprise us. Also hoping that if it is a routine home win for Barnsley that fans are a bit more understanding that we are way off these at the moment. Any result would be a bonus.

XG data suggests that were pretty good defensively, not so good going forward. Barnsley have a good side on paper but are yet to show a huge amount on the pitch (last game aside). 1-1, Harrison 55th min.

They won’t be 😂

It will be Armageddon … again

How sad. They're not Manchester City, we should be able to beat anyone in this league. Sick of this meek and feeble attitude, and fans being so willing to write off games. Not saying that we should be furious if we come away with no points but that would equally be the case if we were playing Morecambe or one of the teams that some fans think we should be beating.

Thinking exactly the same ok they had a good result at Sheffield wed but they not exactly pulling up trees this season and we shouldn’t right these type of games off before a balls been kicked

The team could be an interesting one

4 central defenders tonight. Has Aspin come back?

Exactly this. It's not like they're battering teams. They're 10th with a +1 goal difference

If we were looking to give Benning a rest why wouldn’t we play McCarron instead? The only explanation for Jones I can think of is the long throw ignoring the fact we are just not very good at using it anyway.

4 3 3

will still be 3-5-2 with Jones LWB and Worrall RWB is my guess

Yeah if it was 4-3-3 I’d have thought Cass or Robinson would start in place of Forrester. It’ll be the standard 3-5-2 I’d say.
