Barnsley face a trip to Nottingham Forest at City Ground on Tuesday evening, needing to turn around their fortunes at the ground. The Tykes will be hoping to improve upon a record which has seen them lose 17 and win only 7 of the 33 games.
The most recent encounter between these two sides was less than a year ago, in November 2008, the Forest carving out a narrow 1 - 0 victory in a Championship match.
