A Barnsley win will keep them in the hunt for survival. And defeat for Forest would mean that both Cardiff and Swansea could make the play offs (but would need a 3 - 0 Swansea win on Wednesday and a 3 - 0 Forest defeat).
A draw sees Barnsley down and Forest confirmed in the play offs
20mins to go still 0-0. We could yet get 5th spot.
Barnsley should be winning this.
They are well on top.
The only thing Forest are leading with is fouls!
I agree. I think we are a better team than Forest.Quote:

Barnsley still in with a chance. Have to beat Brentford away on Wednesday.
Forest not confirmed a play off place yet
Owing to 3rd place woes, I’d be least confident playing Fulham over 2 legs.
I tend to agree with you.Quote:

Depends on the points deduction for Wednesday and WiganQuote:

Forest are at home to a Stoke side with nothing to play for, but they certainly didn't look like a team already on holiday when beating Brentford yesterday.
It is totally crazy that the EFL have still not made a decision about penalties (points deductions) for Wednesday and Derby - and almost as crazy that the 12 point deduction announced for Wigan has come at a time when any appeal cannot be resolved before the season ends.Quote:

If Wednesday get the 9 point deduction that most pundits were predicting a few weeks back they would be in the relegation zone!
They like to see how the games pan out so they can then relegate who they wantQuote:

It's an absolute disgrace in all honesty. This has been rumbling on for months.Quote:

Hull would need a three goal swing so would have to beat us by two if Luton only lose by one.
Barnsley could also draw and Hull could still make it IF Luton lose.
But the bigger IF is Wigan points deduction, Hull could beat us and the other results go their way but they would not know they are safe until the 12 points gets confirmed.
I think....
Hull do not need a goal swing with Luton. Hull already have a better GD than Luton. Hull -27, Luton are -29.Quote:
