    Nottingham Forest haven't had many chances tonight, but they are certainly making everything count.

    Apostolos Vellios uses his body to win the ball and then works it out to Michael Mancienne on the right for Forest.

    A fantastic ball is whipped in and Ben Osborn is there with a headed finish.

    Forest have been lethal in front of goal, it's incredible.

    Barnsley 2-3 Nottingham Forest

    Nottingham Forest's Danny Fox clatters into Marley Watkins. Now that is one way to deal with the danger on the right wing for Barnsley.

    And Fox is first into the referee's book for that tackle.

    Rack them up! Barnsley are coming at Nottingham Forest from every which way. Still!

    There is some delightful movement and one-touch passing before Josh Scowen lashes over the bar from outside the box.

    Barnsley 2-3 Nottingham Forest

    Conor Hourihane looks so at ease pulling the strings in midfield for Barnsley, he glides about moving the ball from left to right.

    After some nice build-up play, there is a huge chance for Sam Winnall, but he sends a free header wide of the post for the hosts.

    Barnsley 2-3 Nottingham Forest

    Marley Watkins is making a nuisance of himself down the right for Barnsley.

    His second cross into the box in less than a minute is headed on target by Sam Winnall. Vladimir Stojkovic deals with it easily, but that is a very clear sign that we are in for another busy half of goalmouth action, I'd say.

    'Football is for everybody'

    A new project by the English Football League called 'Every Player Counts' has been launched at Wembley Stadium with the aim of getting 10,000 more disabled people playing football.  

    The project aims to give as many disabled people as possible access to football for the first time.  

    The former England player Danny Mills and Paralympics GB footballer Jack Rutter share their experiences.

    HT: Barnsley 2-3 Nottingham Forest

    For a change of pace, let's throw forward to some of the stories to look out for in the English Football League this weekend.

    Championship: Newcastle United v Blackburn Rovers (15:00 GMT)

    Newcastle United are looking for a 10th successive win in all competitions for the first time since 1994-95.

    The Championship leaders host Blackburn Rovers, who are 22nd in the table after 17 games.

    League One: MK Dons v Sheffield United (15:00 GMT)

    Former MK Dons boss Karl Robinson will be a very interested bystander at the Valley this weekend after being appointed Charlton Athletic manager on Thursday.

    He moves into the job on Monday after the Sheffield United match.

    League Two: Morecambe v Plymouth (15:00 GMT)

    Is seven a lucky or unlucky number? 

    Well, that figure throws up a pretty unique footballing statistic in League Two this weekend as Morecambe host Plymouth Argyle

    The hosts will be looking to end a run of seven straight defeats at the Globe Arena. 

    Conversely, the Pilgrims travel to Lancashire on the back of seven consecutive away wins – a new club record.

  11. Half-time analysispublished at 20:40 Greenwich Mean Time 25 November 2016

    Barnsley 2-3 Nottingham Forest

    Ex-Barnsley striker Derek Parker on BBC Radio Sheffield and BBC Radio 5 live sports extra: "Some of the Barnsley fans will be wondering what has happened out there.

    "Barnsley have played tremendously well going forward but at the back they have looked very suspect. They will be kicking themselves.

    "Forest have had little more than three attacks but have scored from all of them."

  12. HALF-TIME: Barnsley 2-3 Nottingham Forestpublished at 20:35 Greenwich Mean Time 25 November 2016

    Now to recap this five-goal thriller at Oakwell.

    Sam Winnall nabbed the opener for Barnsley before Henri Lansbury leveled with a free-kick.

    Then, 73 seconds after that Marley Watkins is on the mark for the hosts' second. So that is your opening 14 minutes accounted for.

    Ten minutes later, Apostolos Vellios equalises for Forest and then a minute into first-half injury time Lansbury heads Forest into the lead for the first time.

    Hectic stuff!

    So the fourth official shows there is two minutes of this half to play.

    Plenty of time for a goal, you say.

    Sure was, as Henri Lansbury comes up with his second goal of the night - a diving header to get on the end of a Ben Osborn cross from the left for Forest.

    And the visitors now lead for the first time in this one.

    Lansbury sprinted 40 yards to get into the box, fantastic effort.

    Sam Winnall now trying to play provider, whipping in a ball from the right.

    It is deflected out for a corner and danger, after many a bite of the cherry for Barnsley, is cleared by Forest's defence.

    Barnsley 2-2 Nottingham Forest

    This really is one of those matches that whenever the ball is within cooee of the goalmouth you have a sense the next goal is coming.

    A long throw into the box is dealt with, eventually by Nottingham Forest. Like I said, anything within cooee!

    * Cooee is an Australia thing. They use it in the bush. Look it up. All very interesting stuff.

    Barnsley 2-2 Nottingham Forest

    Ex-Nottingham Forest full-back Brian Laws on BBC Radio Nottingham: "Forest have adopted a 5-4-1, Ben Osborn has dropped onto the left... they needed to because they were getting overrun."

    Barnsley 2-2 Nottingham Forest

    Straight off the training ground, and almost a stunning third goal for Barnsley.

    A low corner to the top of the box is blasted by Sam Winnall and tipped over the bar.

    It looked great, but wouldn't have counted as the referee blows for a foul.

  18. Postpublished at 31 mins

    Barnsley 2-2 Nottingham Forest

    Nottingham Forest, dare I say it, are  playing with a sense of composure after equalising for a second time.

    The defence has certainly managed to deal with a a series of probing crosses and free-kicks better.

    In attack, Apostolos Vellios looks for a team-mate with an attempted back-heel pass. 

    Considering how the goals have come about tonight, anything would work at this rate.

    Your club's best bargains

    As Sam Winnall gets a meek header on target for Barnsley, let's have a look at the get involved question we put out there for the best bargain football buys.

    Merv Payne: Bargain of 2016? Easy! It has to be Mahlon Romeo for Millwall.

    Sam Collins: Best bargain footballer has to be RB/LB Andy Yiadom - free transfer from my club Barnet and B, externalarnsley POTY so far.

    B. Cairns: Tom Lees has to be the ultimate bargain - Leeds had to fork out to cancel his contract, now he's worth millions #swfc

    BBC Radio Sheffield's Andy Giddings: "What an extraordinary start to this game. Three goals in 23 minutes and it's hugs, handshakes and high-fives for Forest."
