Match Comments:
Barnsley boss Mark Robins:
"We got off to the worst
possible start where we conceded early on. You just hoped that we didn't
get too damaged by that early goal.
We got a point and it could have been better than that had we had a
little bit more composure from Andy Gray.
He was outstanding today, probably his best game since I came here."
Newcastle
United manager Chris Hughton said:
"Andy Carroll coped very
well. He didn't give us anything we don't already know. We know he's a
handful and on his day a very good player.
It's disappointing not to get the win when you're leading with just
three minutes remaining. We've been very strong during the latter
stage of matches this season so when Marlon scored I thought we'd go on
to win.
But credit to Barnsley, they threw everything at us and refused to give
in, although I was disappointed that we conceded from a set-piece.
We wanted to get the win today for our fans and to have 7,000 there was
fantastic. It's a shame that wasn't the case but we're still in a very
good position and, on another day, we would have won.
I think when you're 2-1, up with so little of the game to go, it's very
disappointing when you don't get the result." |

Match Report: |

A late Bobby Hassell strike for Barnsley
earned his side a draw and stopped Newcastle United recording their
eight consecutive victory at Oakwell.
Newcastle started off in commanding fashion when on 6 minutes a flick on
by Andy Carroll was met by Kevin Nolan who scored with a neat finish for
his tenth goal of the season.
The rest of the half failed to generate any chances for either side and
at the interval the league leaders were 1-0 up.
However, Barnsley roared out the traps
after half-time and drew level on 52 minutes when Emil Hallfredson
smashed in at the far post from Anderson Da Silva's centre.
Fabrice Pancrate and Carroll both had chances to restore Newcastle's
lead before substitute Marlon Harewood latched onto another Carroll
headed flick to finish well on 78 minutes.
Newcastle looked to be cruising to
yet
another win in front of an impressive 7,000 travelling fans, but with 3
minutes left on the clock Barnsley full-back Hassell equalised.
An Adam Hammill corner found the unmarked Hassell, and the Barnsley
player of the year for last season headed home much to the delight on
the home crowd.
Despite the draw Newcastle still remain ten points clear of third place
after Nottingham Forest recorded an impressive away victory at Swansea,
while there is now an eight point gap to West Brom in second, who play
Cardiff on Monday night. |
