Feeling confident and as someone who lives abroad i wish i was going today, feels like the start of a new era with Nimer turning up, some new signings and a crowd of around 20k there.
3-1 Charlton. Taylor, Green and a late debut goal from sub McGeady.
I feel like 4-2-3-1 is the way Bowyer is currently looking to set up so can see something like this.
Phillips
Matthews Pearce Lockyer Purrington
Cullen Pratley
Green Williams Doughty
Taylor
Subs: Amos, Sarr, two of Deji/Field/Morgan, McGeady, Oztumer, Hemed
I expect Oztumer will come on for Williams, McGeady for either Green/Doughty at some point and Hemed for Taylor.
Team looks really strong once we have Davis, JFC, Bonne, Aneke coming back in which gives us plenty of options. Still slightly miffed at the Smith signing as he is one I don't see getting much game time. A CB/LB would have been better use of a loan in my eyes.
Might have one, possibly two free tickets in the Covered End. Won’t know til around eleven. Both kids went to bed feeling ill, so it’ll depend on how they feel when they wake up.
Lyle got a bit of a muted reception when he warmed up on the touch line against Fulham which, in my opinion, was wrong. Let's give him the ovation of all ovations today - and watch him knock in a couple of goals as we win 3-0. He's done so much for the club, he deserves it. And let's hear it for HE as well.

Buzzing for this today. Sounds like the place will be busy. Hopefully the atmosphere gets back to what it was at the start of the season and we put on a good performance. COYR
I hope Leeds and West Brom find their form again this weekend. If we manage a win, we could well pull a few more teams back into the relegation battle.
JFC is fit now then I take it? @Sage Quite like the look of that team though would switch Doughty and Green.
Yes, he’s trained all week.
Only have Doughty and Green that way because of cutting in and supporting Taylor. Barnsley also play the diamond, so it allows us to be narrow when needed at times too.
Wouldn't be surprised to see us start with a diamond either though.
While it would be great to win, for me it's a must-not-lose match.
It’s must win - we haven’t won in a lifetime. we can’t keep throwing games, or settling for points.
3 points and only 3 will do
Agreed, we need to start picking up 3 points on a regular basis. Don't do it today, and there's massive pressure on our visit to Stoke next Saturday, as Forest will be a tough match

Pratley
Williams x3
Green
That’s always my prediction but I’m having a flutter on it today.
Wont be easy without our new supa dupa signings but I think we will win and take the pressure off.
2.1
Green
Doughty
We concede early but fight back valiantly in 2nd half
North Upper is sold out.
Hope you're all gonna sing as loud as I'll be singing in the lower.
Come on you reds!

McGeady just missing out as they would have done the majority of the work prior to him signing. Forster-Caskey also very unlucky not to be included.

Really excited about today, big atmosphere, big game, big 3 points.
