    Is Klose still injured? If he can play, would you put him back in the line-up tomorrow remembering that he scored both of our goals in the reverse fixture? That would be harsh on BG who's played so well.

    I've a feeling DF said last week that Klose should be able to play tomorrow, but very harsh to drop BG.

    Sky Preview
    Sky Bet Championship high-flyers Norwich will check on midfielders Emi Buendia and Moritz Leitner ahead of the Boxing Day clash with Nottingham Forest at Carrow Road. Buendia (dead leg) and Leitner (ankle) were both forced off during Saturday's 1-0 win at Blackburn and face late fitness tests. Defender Timm Klose could be back in contention from a knee injury, while centre-back Grant Hanley has been stepping up his match fitness following a thigh problem.

    Nottingham Forest could have defender Danny Fox available again after resuming training following a long-standing foot problem. Defender Tobias Figueiredo is doubtful after suffering a dead leg in the 1-0 defeat at QPR. Forest boss Aitor Karanka indicated he could make changes as he looks to get the team back into the top six, with forwards Daryl Murphy and Karim Ansarifard both options having come off the bench at Loftus Road. Defender Michael Dawson (hamstring) continues his recovery along with forward Hilal Soudani and right-back Sam Byram, who are expected to make their comeback from knee injuries in the new year.

    Important info for todays game Barclay Fans!



    I love how the club are so supportive of these fan Movements. So open now to helping these groups.

    Reduced Scarfs for £5. That has to be an effort by the club to back the fan groups and make it more viable to carry out their latest idea. I love that.

    Big thumbs up to the Club. :emoticon-0148-yes:

    Middlesbrough losing, but I don't think that is relevant at the moment. It's looking like two from three: two of us, Leeds and West Brom. If we don't make the top two, we might end up meeting Middlesbrough in the play offs.

    I think this is the toughest call we've had. Let's see how we respond.

    Don’t deserve to be behind. Controlled that. Half. One of the better first half performances of late.
