I'm totally with you on our recent performances. Just think the stars have aligned to give Barnsley a disproportionate chance this weekend. Really hope I'm wrong (and I'm usually positive about us) FWIW, I really fancy us to turn over Bristol City the following Tuesday, regardless.

Show me the attacking line up you'd pick, and the formation.

Their last 5 games have all had just one goal in it. Their last game they beat QPR 1-0, and had no midweek game. Hats off to you if you are anywhere near right (and I hope you are!) Do feel we need a bit of help from the football gods (and the ref for a change!)

Why woyuld we play defensively? We want a win. Nott like we're in danger of going down. If you'd said ' think we'll play poorly' I get it, as we have had a tough midweek game, the pitch is likely to be iffy, and Barnsley have had no midweek game. Serious question, why are you saying we will set...

Think that was exarcebated by the ineffectiveness of our wing backs to impact the game (attacking wise) as much as anything else.

Gazza's still without a club.

I've done 43 teams (although not counted any double stadia e.g. (Baseball Ground/Pride Park or Hockey Stadium/MK Bowl etc)/ Really should have done a lot more, as been to some grounds lots of times (Norwich about 6 times), yet never done any of the Scouse or Manc clubs. No idea why, either?!

Forest next season (assuming they don't go up - and yes they'll have some cash to spend) will lose Brennan Johnson and Djed Spence, Blackburn will lose Diaz, their better on loan players, and are likely to revert to mid-table at best. Bristol City are close to failing EFL financial regs (there...

We were better than Cardiff first half They had Doyle, Ikpeazu, Hugill, and other regular first teamers on the bench. We had a not yet fit Waghorn, and an as yet unproven JJ on the bench. The two benches were miles apart in terms of strength - particularly attacking wise. We could easily have...

Agreed - you get all those prickly thorns in your fingers...........

Another who hasn't looked like he is fit yet; one of the reasons i keep banging on about only selecting 'fit' players, wherever possible. I think managing injuries can have a major impact on a season's performance. cov-id delayed games and compressed series of matches has exacerbated this.

To have three of your four defensive midfielders injured/suspended at the same time is plain unlucky. It has coincided with having 2 of your main 3 front players out. Not SISU's fault. If we had a much bigger squad it is inevitable that the back ups will be of lower quality and...

Nobody is going to pay him £1500 a week !

As fans we are impatient, but in a game of football involving two teams, only one can win - and sometimes, neither. It may be stating the bloody obvious; however I think we sometimes forget that we don't have a divine right to win. What is more important is that the team is improving all the...

Yes - but MR didn't have the option to do that last night, as there was no obvious replacement for the second DM role.

Kelly/Ecc;les injured - either would have started before him as defensive midfielder

They have an excellent chance based on potential energy levels. If we don't score the first goal, I think it looks nailed on. Need a scruffy goal, or MR to shake things up a bit - although he is likely to have limited options,

Partly agree Steve; however, the crowd tend to be a lot more lenient with a newbie, and it is not only about giving them a chance, but protecting those who are in need of a break/carrying a niggle that gets worse. We don't have a big squad, so if we do have players out, we need to use these...

Thanks Dom's dad...........don't have any real issues with him, other than I wish his forward passing was a bit more accurate. I could aim that at one or two others too though - think Kane's passing/crossing has got a bit shoddy lately too!

We were better than them first half. Despite us looking pretty toothless, they could barely lay a glove on us. We could have had a pen, and missed a very easy chance. 2-0 harsh, but we were flat second half. Barnsley won't be a pushover on Saturday either.
