They play Chelsea on Wednesday so I'm assuming they'll be back to face us.

Hopefully another 3 points for us! Would be nice to do a job on Chaplin and Thomas. Nothing personal, just playing ex-players spices it up a little bit.

Can imagine Chaplin/Thomas chasing down any tippy tappy stuff around the back. Just try to win corners and we'll beat them !!

Without wanting to get too negative after winning so well yesterday, but i think we really need the win against Barnsley... the little run after that is tough. A win at Barnsley would boost confidence yet more, and if we can then pick up perhaps a win or couple of draws from the rest of October, we should go into November solidly in contention with mid-table...

To be fair I think that first one will be rescinded anyway, never a sending off

We've had 28 shots in 2 games so far this season... We take our chances against Barnsley we will win... There should be a few

Barnsley are not to be underestimated, they’ve got a very good manager and play a pretty intense pressing game. We struggled with QPR’s high press in the first half last night so will need to be on our game.

Barnsley are shite. We play like we did yesterday and we will win confortably.

Optimum words focus on us not being complacent.

I saw Barnsley twice the season they got promoted. Although we took 4 points off of them, they were obviously a very good (League 1) team. They must have improved on that to have survived last season. I read on here that they won only one of their opening 9 games. That would indicate, that to stay up, their form in the remaining 37 games must have been approaching play off standard. Coming to the final run in last season, I know they were still adrift. Their form in the last few games must have been excellent. (I know they were lucky because of Wigan's points deduction). However, surviving in the way that they did suggests that they are far from being 'shite'.

Two games in and only as many sides with a 100% record, there are no rubbish teams apart from maybe Wycombe who look out of their depth so far

That said, they would have gone down all other things being equal.

That’s what happens when a side who finished 8th in Lge 1 gets promoted...

Hopefully we can become better at the back in this one against a team who haven’t scored yet - scoring 3 goals to win a game isn’t ideal

The first one he pulls at him when clean through, no way that's being overturned.

You’ll be amazed how shite you’re going to play on Saturday. Have a look at the amount of shots teams have against us, and how many they get on target. our results are poor, but our approach to games, and our football isn’t, fortunately for yourselves we can’t take our chances, so you’ll probably beat us 1-0 but don’t expect to create chances at will, and dominate us because it won’t happen.

Beat them and we'll be 6 points ahead of them already. They would have gone down last season if it wasn't for the dodgy stuff at Wigan. Took 4 points off them in League one and two of their main players are ones we had then improved upon. If we're serious about staying up we need to be winning these games to compensate for when we have the inevitable bad patches of form.

They've played the teams that finished 14th and 19th last year and got 0 points, we've played 13th and 12th and got 3.

QPR allowed 6 shots against v Forest, the same Barnsley did against Reading, we had 12 against them. I'm confident we create more chances against their 343 with our shape than the teams they've played so far have.

I just expect us to create chances... And if we take those chances we will win... Fairly balanced view of football tbh.

Leeds, Forest, and Brentford fans thought that going into the last 3 games of last season.
Leeds (A) 6 shots 2 on target.
Forest (H) 8 shots 1 on target.
Brentford (A) 12 shots 3 on target

First two league games this season.

Luton (H) 3 shots 1 on target.
Reading (A) 6 shots 5 on target. But we played half hour with 10 men and 25 minutes with 9 men.

Last season we was the second best pressing side in the league behind Leeds, and finished 5 in the XG table.
Our problem is we’ve sacrificed goal scorers for grafters, so we can press from the front, as a result we can’t take any of the abundance of chances we create.

If you try to play out from the back you’ll struggle to get out of your own half.

It sounds like a recipe for disaster if you don’t score much and concede goals in few shots

We’ll see come Saturday, but after 20 minutes, when you’re thinking these can’t keep this up all game, they’ll blow up and get knackered towards end, don’t count on it.

What an awful thought, remember Portsmouth away when he rounded the keeper and took an absolute age to get his shot off, which went straight to their defender.

I think we'll put them to the sword on Saturday, our squad is superior to theirs.

He plays at the tip of the diamond behind the strikers, grafting not giving players a second on the ball, he doesn’t need to out pace anyone.

Would anybody have Thomas over O'Hare in the 10 for us? I already know the answer but we have someone who is as tenacious as Thomas but with an end product.
