Barnsley FC player ratings with substitutes taking leading roles but goalkeeper the star
Barnlsey’s best outfield players were their substitutes in Tuesday’s 1-1 draw with Wigan Athletic, but it needed a big performance from Owen Goodman to give them the chance of taking anything.
Owen Goodman – hesitant for the Wigan goal, but his saves kept Barnsley in the game 8
Corey O'Keeffe – an excellent run late on as the Reds pushed for an equaliser 7
Mael de Gevigney – frustrated the crowd at times 6
Eoghan O'Connell – struggled with the pace of Joe Taylor 5
Jack Shepherd – one brainless throw-in in an otherwise good performance 7
Luca Connell – hit the crossbar with a free-kick on an otherwise poor performance from the captain, who was at fault for the opener 5
Patrick Kelly – his poor pass backwards set an unfortunate tone 6
Reyes Cleary – Barnsley did not get him into the game enough 6
Vimal Yoganathan – a subdued performance in the hole 6
Scott Banks – similar story to Cleary 6
David McGoldrick – little to work with, but his long-range effort set up the equaliser 6
Substitutes:
Adam Phillips (for Yoganathan, 52) – his introduction, along with Tom Bradshaw, lifted the performance up a notch 7
Tom Bradshaw (for McGoldrick, 52) – flicked a header over shortly after coming on 7
Charlie Lennon (for Cleary, 71) – forced a save then scored the equaliser showing the get-up-go that had missing for so long 7
Gabriel Ogbeta (for de Gevigney, 71) – another substitute who did well 6
Jonathan Bland (for Kelly, 80) – brought some energy 6
Not used: Watson, Flavell.
