Forest V Barnsley Match Thread

On paper we have a fairly comfortable run in, that's assuming that we continue to pick up points and the performance against Millwall won't be repeated. But will it? While Fox was clearly outmuscled by Williams at the near post, possession was lost by McKay failing to control the ball and just heading it straight back to Millwall.

How do you motivate a group of highly paid footballers to go out and compete when they don't want to/can't be arrissed? Any useful suggestions should be tweeted to Gary Rowett.

Barnsley are now in the relegation zone with seven games to go and no professional footballer wants a relegation on his C.V if he can help it.
They managed to scrape a measly two points together in March with score draws against Norwich and Bristol City. The Tykes were leading up until Josh Brownhill headed an equaliser in the 91st minute.

Hopefully both Dowell and Murphy will be fit for tomorrow: Karanka needs to stop biting his nose to spite his face and bring Lichaj back into the squad.

Even Preston down in tenth place will believe that they can sneak into the last playoff birth, especially considering the push overs they're playing next.

Sleepy midtable extends below that down to Norwich in 14th, with 52 points.
Forest on the other hand must not switch off because we aren't safe on 46.

They need to come out tomorrow and play with conviction and take the game to Barnsley; anybody who can't be bothered needs to be shipped out.
