7:00pm kick off is no good to me. It’s Emmerdale Farm time. However, my prediction for The Woolpack dominoes final is; Amos Brierley 2 v Seth Armstrong 5, which classes as a Barnsley win.
I'm going 3 1 more in hope than expectation. I think we are due an actual win under new manager bounce like other clubs seem to get.
QPR have been the opposite to what they were last season - miserly. Don't score many and don't concede many. We had a cracking game at Oakwell against them last season which was open and played into our hands, meaning we banged in 5. Its not going to be the same tonight, I'd like to think we could get our first win but we need to cut out the stupid individual errors that have crept back in this season. I'll go for 1-1.
Tbf Stendel had pre season to get the players used to his ideas. Morais, Struber and Ismael were in at the deep end.
2-0 to us, time for another clean sheet. Does anyone know our injury situation - I am assuming Woodrow and Williams will still be out - is Mowatt OK
Is Woodrow fit do we know? If not, a frontline of Frieser and Chaplin doesn't fill me with excitement. I'll go 1-1.
We battered Burton that night and should have got something. I thought Thiam's goal at the end was wrongfully chalked off.
Maybe Schmidt could come in for Chaplin. The front two of Frieser and Schmidt worked okay against Boro in the cup.
