Mellis opener gives Reds hope but goals from an £8m striker and one with 29 goals in 79 games for Portugal brings back familiar away day feeling......
.......this defeat at Ewood Park was Barnsley's fifth successive away reverse and their 12th in 13.
The Reds have lost their first three away league games of a season now for the first time in four years but have scored in every home and away game so far in 2012-2013. The last time they managed to score in their first six matches was 2006.
