Jones: It was cruel

"It's a cruel way to lose a football match." Dave Jones said after seeing Barnsley score with the last kick of the game. "Some time it will go for us and we've got to take our chances.

"It looked like it was going to be 0-0. We didn't get the ball down to clear it and it rolled and hit his arm. Last year we missed out on promotion on goal difference. Some players need to learn to have a bit more control, be disciplined and take a point. Both defences were good and neither team's attackers did anything."

"You can call it lucky but you play to the end of the game and we've been given a free-kick. I was desperately trying to get Carl off it but he strode up and hit it. To score the winner in the last minute gives the fans something to think about.

"I thought we played excellently and played some good stuff. We created a few chances. Today was going to be about who defended the set-pieces better and we got our goal from a set-piece.

"We picked up where we left off against Sheffield United. Today we've got we deserved and we've moved the ball around well in difficult conditions."
