Ratings - how Barnsley FC players fared against Nottingham Forest
Walton: Made two outstanding first-half saves to deny Guerrero and Lolley and will have been relieved when the former then shot straight at him when set clear. Also made a flying save to keep out Taylor's header on the restart. Strong performance. 8
Sollbauer. Had to stay alert as Forest posed a threat in the channels in Lolley, while Taylor also drifted wide. Kept busy. 6

Hide AdHelik. Made a key covering challenge to thwart the dangerous Lolley in the first period to prevent a likely goal. 7
Andersen. Caught out by Lolley once in first half, with Christie and Lolley posing issues down the flanks. 6
Brittain. Some lovely interplay with Chaplin at times and displayed trademark energy. Set up Woodrow's killer second. 7
Mowatt. Drove Barnsley on against a good Forest side. Did not have it all his own way. 6

Hide AdJames. Steady-away, but had to dig in and show his experience as Forest dominated before the break. 6
Styles. So impressive in the league fixture here at the end of last season and provided an irresistible encore with a marvellous late winner. Made some key interceptions in the first half and posted danger going forward and then came that fabulous moment to break the deadlock. 8
Frieser. A little bit in and out at times, but posed sporadic threat. His tale of misfortune in front of the Ponty End continued when he missed a close-range chance. 6
Chaplin. A real 'bottle of pop' who set the tempo early on. Very unfortunate when he cut inside and fired against the woodwork. His endeavour deserved a goal. 8

Hide AdWoodrow. Hit the bar with a sumptuous curler after starting a fine move with a delicious flick. Also struck the woodwork in the second half. By his high standards, he will have been disappointed not to score. 7
Substitutes: Kane (James 62). Went close with a well-struck free-kick with his first touch. Did well enough. 7
Thomas (Frieser 62). Teed up Woodrow's chance which hit the bar.
Adeboyejo (Chaplin 82), 6.
Oduor (Mowatt 82), 6
