McNair; A force yet again and contributed to both goals. 7

Tavernier: Posed problems for Barnsley and the only thing missing was a goal. 7

Collins: Strong and wonderfully consistent again. Deserves better. 8

Moon: Crooks got above him for the second and at full-stretch and found it tough. 5

J Williams: Boro were afforded too much space down the flanks. 4

Brittain: Another who is suffering at the minute. 4

Gomes: The Championship is a hard school and he is finding that out alright. 4

Hondermarck: One of Barnsley's better performances on his full debut in fairness. 6

Styles: Returned to the side and was a peripheral force in the middle. 4

Iseka: Delayed when through on goal in the second half and ballooned a rebound over after. Sloppy and unconvincing. 4

Woodrow: Tested Lumley in the second half, but was on the margins in the main. 5
