Caretaker manager Andy Ritchie told the oficial Barnsley FC website:

"Personally I think we got out of jail here this afternoon and we were really off the pace. That is the first time since I have taken over that we have looked like that.

"Simon Johnson said that he went for that and had seen the goalkeeper off his line but I think we will take a little bit of luck like that. You need things like that through the season.

"We have had a few struggling with flu and both Chopra and Johnson were out on their feet come the end of the game but we cannot use that as an excuse as we did not play to our potential at all.

"Oldham played well today and we were a little lucky to come away with a point in the end."
