Nottingham Forest will be looking for a vast improvement in the performance in their opening fixture when they take on Barnsley at The City Ground tonight (7pm) in their first Totesport.com Reserve League game.

The Reds slumped to a 4-1 defeat against Sheffield United 13 days ago after conceding all four goals in the first 23 minutes and will be aiming to put the record straight against the Tykes.

Lewis McGugan and Nathan Tyson, who both made second half appearances as substitutes for the first team against Norwich City at the weekend, are in the starting line-up.

It is: Darlow, Moloney, Lascelles, Byrne, Freeman, Mullen, McGugan, Thornhill, Gibbons, Adebola, Tyson. Subs: Rodney, Mytides, Meadows, Artymatas, Kay, Osborn, Bamford.
