Barnsley manager David Flitcroft had praise for the Town staff who helped ensure Saturday’s snow-hit game at Portman Road went ahead after his team had claimed a 1-1 draw. The 39-year-old was taking control of the Tykes for the first time since being elevated to full-time boss having previously been caretaker-manager.
Barnsley sub Danny Rose netted a late equaliser - his first league goal - to deny the Blues three points as the Tykes left Portman Road having claimed a deserved 1-1 draw. Town were fortunate to be on terms at half-time – ex-Blues loanee Marlon Harewood missing a number of chances – but Luke Chambers put Mick McCarthy s men in front in the 56th minute.
