Luongo misses out with illness. Bidwell dropped. Perch comes in along with Lynch, Smith, Cousins and Wszolek.
So given Ollie's comments after the last 'mis-match' it seems he is blaming Furlong & Bidwell mostly for the failure to score and defend. Instead we have Lynch and Perch joining Washington. Hmmm.
I guess we will see Robinson on the left wing, can't see Lynch playing there. Why move our most consistent performer?
Certainly a few strange choices in my eyes. Hopefully it pays off.
Not so far it seems. It was 27 mins before our first attempt on goal - and that was a Perch header! As Barnsley are attacking successfully you have to wonder what will happen in the second half. At least we got past the 31-45 mins death slot...
Yes that win means a lot! It puts us on 36 points and 15th, so only moved up 2 slots; but we are now 10 pints away from relegation and 15 pts from Top 6. So all good except for Ryan Manning's red card, which I suspect had a lot to do with a lack of match time and a desire to show his worth to Ollie... Whisky tonight!
Good important win The least we could of asked for after last weeks debacle 10 points clear and as we have wolves away next we need that gap from the bottom 3 Well done the team today and Ollie
I know hindsight is a wonderful thing but doesn't it now seem obvious that Scowen would score his first goal for us against his old club! It was a cracking goal and he looked our best player today, one other player who I thought deserved a mention today was Lynch who had a very solid game.

My thoughts exactly stoatey and, as it happens, lots of journalists too! I have been critical in the past of Lynch's poor turning ability when being run at, but he not only blocked well (blocking two very good goal shots), he also distributed the ball forward well too. As for Scowen, he went about his work in his usual, efficient 'rat-like' manner, and the club should waste no time in waiting 25 days to award him 'Goal Of The Month' now!
