Barnsley s run of six straight away wins ended with a 2-0 loss at Coventry City on Sunday.
The hosts scored early then defended well against a Reds side who were not at their best in one of their weaker performances in recent months and conceded another goal deep in injury-time.
Barnsley remain sixth, four points clear of seventh-placed Reading with four games to play.
Valerien Ismael made one change from the side that beat Middlesbrough last weekend as Conor Chaplin replaced Dominik Frieser.
The hosts started well and took the lead in the ninth minute when centre-back Dom Hyam smashed a powerful shot into the bottom right corner from 15 yards after the Reds did not defend a throw-in on the right.

COLOURFUL OAKWELL RETURN FOR WARNOCK
On Grand National day, Barnsley resembled a long shot that stumbled out of the gate but has galloped to near the front and is threatening a major upset in the final furlongs.
Their fifth place is enviously looked up to by many clubs including Neil Warnock’s Middlesbrough.
The former Barnsley winger turned veteran manager had a typically colourful and cantankerous afternoon back at Oakwell.
