Owls boss Tony Pulis told BBC Radio Sheffield:

"It's confidence, and how do you breed confidence? We switched off twice, the first goal is comical really and then the second goal, it's just a one-two around the corner.

"Really disappointing. We changed it around in the second half, there was a lot more positivity and the shot that came off the woodwork. Those little breaks when you're going well, they go in.

"We had two or three great opportunities but the final pass [let us down]. It's difficult at the moment. Dominic Iorfa has done his Achilles. We don't want to lose him. In training he's like a Rolls-Royce."

Barnsley manager Valerien Ismael told BBC Radio Sheffield:

"I know the meaning of this game, I feel it in the changing room with these guys. Especially for our fans. A big win tonight and it'll give us great confidence for the next game on Tuesday.

"We are a young team. We have to accept that we can make mistakes. But we believed in ourselves to come back into the game. We did it against Birmingham and tonight it was the same response.

"It's a good feeling. We have the capacity now to come back in any game."

A lovely read to start a Saturday evening!
