Barnsley 2-1 Scunthorpe: Post Match Reaction

Last updated : 09 March 2011 By Rob Miles (BarnsleyBoy)

"

I thought we controlled the game for most of it and Scunthorpe had decided to sit in and make it difficult for us to break them down which they did in the first half.

We then got the rub of the green when we hit the target and got the first goal at the second attempt. Marlon was better today and got his reward with two goals today.

I was pleased with the result because it was all about that tonight.

Just before Scunthorpe scored Paul McShane re-broke his nose so he couldn't see anything and he slipped and the ball went into the area and Shackell got the first block and then Collins put the ball into the back of the net.

We defended quiet well, the wind spoilt it, but we scored two goals. Marlon used his stregnth well to get his second goal and composed himself well.

Kieran Trippier gets into good positions and puts in some good balls. I wish I was playing when Kieran is putting balls in like that.

I thought under the conditions with the wind and the pitch it was difficult to move the ball in the way we like to, but overall we just about edged it tonight.

Things are looking up with players coming back for the weekend and we will have more or less a fully fit squad to choose from"
