Hayes pushing for start

Barnsley manager Mark Robins will select his side from an unchanged squad for the clash at Nottingham Forest. Robins has no new injury or suspension problems following Tuesday's 1-0 defeat at Swansea but injured defenders Jay McEveley and Luke Potter remain sidelined with respective knee injuries. Striker Paul Hayes is pressing for a place in the starting line-up after starting the last five matches on the substitutes' bench, while the Tykes are still without forward Garry O'Connor. O'Connor has signed a permanent deal following his recent loan spell from Birmingham but is not eligible to play for Barnsley until the home clash with Coventry next Monday. Midfield pair Diego Arismendi and Luke Butterfield are also in contention as the Tykes bid to bounce back from successive defeats.
