    A massive game on Tuesday night as we go into it on the back of some excellent results and with the team playing with confidence and belief. Wolves on the other hand have lost 5 of their last 9 and picked up just four points with Saunders looking at a 7th straight game without a win. A loss would see the two teams change places leaving Wolves in the bottom three. If other results were to go our way we could conceivably find ourselves in 19th place in the table (with a Huddersfield loss to Forest & Wednesday loss to Brum).

    Wolves away form hasn't been great and they've struggled to score away from home with only Huddersfield and Ipswich failing to score less goals on the road. Conversely our home form has been marked by the fact we have the worst goals for record in the division. I suspect Wolves will play quite defensively and look to score against the run of play. If I were a Wolves fan i'd love a win, but I suspect a draw would be a decent result for them. I think if we can keep up our run of scoring then we will prove too strong for them.

    My prediction: 2-0 to Barnsley.

    I think this is the most important game of the next 3. We have a terrible record against Wolves and have a big loss with Etuhu. Our midfield without him or Daws looks simply too lightweight to me. We all know what we're like historically, coming up against Clubs 'on a bad run'. But this is a new Barnsley, a different Barnsley.

    Personally, I don't think it's necessarily a must win - however I DO think it's a 'must not lose', which may make for a very nervy night. With the confidence pulsing through the squad and hopefully a big(ger) crowd, I think we can get the 3 points. But I think it's gonna be our toughest test so far....again

    I think it will be one nil but not sure who to. Etuhu is a big miss. Will he play Bobby in there or maybe Delap? Wiseman would be RWB in the latter case. I'm really hoping we get some more fans in to get behind them. Flicker and the lads deserve that at least. Its by no means a season decider but a win would be fantastic. I also think in games like this that having the ability to bring Scotland on for the last 25 mins is a huge plus.

    I can see it being a close game to be honest. Think they'll be desperate to register a win, and I hope we don't get carried away with the good run we're on. Reckon a little complacency may creep into our game, i'm going for 2-1 Barnsley regardless of what i've just said.

    ................Steele........................
    .......Cranie Foster Kennedy............
    Delap.............................Golbourne
    ............Hassell Perkins.................
    ................O'Brien........................
    .........Dagnall Harewood................

    Alnwick
    Wiseman
    Mellis
    Scotland
    Cywka
    Struggling to fill the bench really, maybe Rose and RNL, but that's 5 attacking players on the bench.

    Dagnall and Scotland to score.

    Don't know for certain but thought that if you had concussion you weren't allowed to play for 10 days. I'm just assuming he will be out.
