HERE are the Barnsley FC player ratings from Wednesday evening's Championship home game against Derby County at Oakwell.

Collins: A night for keeping concentration in wretched conditions. Decisive in racing out to clear and made a key second-half block to thwart Gregory. 7

Sibbick: Did his bit in another disciplined defensive showing from the Reds. Survived a penalty shout when Jozwiak went down under pressure in second half. 6

Helik: Sound positional sense and was up to the challenge in the fierce wind. 7

Andersen: Another orderly defensive performance on a night not to mess about. 7

Brittain: A fierce wind-assisted first-time cross-shot was not far away. 6

Palmer: One strong run in the first half went down well with Ismael. But could not dictate. 5

Mowatt: Tried to break the spell with that cultured left foot and his delivery looked Barnsley's best route to a goal. 6

Styles: Not at his bucaneering best. In mitigation, it was a difficult night. 5

Chaplin: His frustration was there for all to see after firing a point-blank chance straight at Roos early in the second half. 5

Woodrow: Booked early on. Connected well with a volley which was off target. One of three early changes in second half. 6

Dike: Headed a couple of half-chances wide in the first period. Mengi was up for the battle against him, but his work-rate was prodigious. Has quickly become a big player for Barnsley in this system. 7

Substitutes: Morris (Chaplin 57). Put himself about and relished the physical stuff as usual. 6

Adeboyejo (Woodrow 57). Did not get much change out of Derby rearguard. 5

J Williams (Styles 57). Helped out late on as Derby pressed. 6

Kane (Palmer 82), 6.

Not used: Walton, Oduor, Sollbauer, Moon.
