Reds Manager Danny Wilson caught up with the press following his side's 2-2 draw away at Coventry City.
"The second half we were much better. We were more compact and looked more of a threat.
"The first half, they got through us and cut through us to play in those pockets.
"The first goal was unfortunate because we'd just had a great chance.
"We saw two very committed teams who both wanted to win the game but both had to settle for the point.
"Anything away from home is a point. The way the game wore on, it's a pleasing point for us."
All the goals came in the first half, with Barnsley's first equaliser a splendid free-kick from Conor Hourihane that found the top corner.
"He's got a terrific left foot," said Wilson on Hourihane. "That's a threat for you. We've seen it on a couple of occasions already this season. He's got a terrific technique. He's got us back in the game because it stunned Coventry a little bit."
The Reds are next in action at Oakwell this Saturday we Gillingham visit Oakwell.
