Boss Paul Jewell admitted that the Blues’ 1-1 draw at Barnsley felt like a defeat with the Tykes grabbing a late equaliser through Jacob Mellis after Jason Scotland had put Town in front.
A last-gasp Jacob Mellis goal prevented the Blues from claiming four league wins in a row for the first time since 2004. Sub Jason Scotland had put Town ahead with eight minutes left, only for the Barnsley midfielder to hit back seconds before the final whistle.
