The good half of our inconsistency emerged last night against Derby County at Oakwell, as the Reds were
3-0 up by the half hour mark against a Derby side which had kept four clean sheets prior to this game.

< >

Our matches with Derby have become traditionally high energy, skillful encounters, and this was no exception, with former captain Jason Shackell coming up against his old team mates must be left rueing them having had his normally tight defence breached three times in just 30 minutes and their first defeat in seven.

Such a welcome result for Hill and all associated with Barnsley FC following the disappointing home result against lowly Millwall, but it shows how tight the division is not many teams go on a massive run in the Championship. Which means if any team, the Reds included go on a bit of a run then they'll be in the play offs. See what happens away at Watford at the weekend.

Matty done was the catalyst for this early lead as he put the Reds in front calmly on 11 minutes. He was then involved for the penalty, being pulled back by John Brayford, Andy Gray stepped up to the mark to drill home Barnsley's second. Looking well in control against an in form Derby side.

Scott Wiseman got in to finish nicely and confirm Barnsley dominance making it 3-0 and seemingly job done by 30 minutes.

Derby came back into it in the second half following the Reds being in complete control and putting the departure of leading goal scorer Ricardo Vas Te to West Ham United well out of the mind.

Jamie Ward got one back for Derby following a stylish freekick that left Steele with no chance. That was it for the away side until late on as Tom Carroll got another just to make the scoreline more respectable as the points were never at risk for the Reds.

Keith Hill be ecstatic with this team performance putting Millwall behind us, and after cashing in on Vas Te, we have coffers in the bank, and the team spirit is still there.

New loan signing Michael Tonge from Stoke (and ex-blade... oooooo) got in a nice corner ball for Jim McNulty to test the Derby keeper, who responded with a brilliant save to keep his powerful header out on nine minutes. And the Reds were in total control, we do perform like this against Derby.

We did take the lead just a minute after this first chance, before Andy Gray doubled our lead after firing his penalty down the middle. Wiseman added the third and his first for the club on the half hour mark as some very neat passing football unlocked the Derby defence once more.

Derby had a boost in the quest for a point when Ward drilled in a 25 yard freekick on 68 minutes which went through the assembled wall of red, to give Derby hope and thats all it was, as they added their second in the dying seconds.

Next up, away at Watford then in form Birmingham City visit Oakwell, following smashing Leeds United 4-1 at Elland Road. Should be a good game, lets hope for 3 more points at Watford then the play off will start coming sharply into focus, and will make an interesting run in for the Reds this season.

BFCweb Man of the match: Matty Done - caused problems for the normally tight Derby defence capped with his opener and was central to the penalty and the Reds second.
