...........It was Barnsley’s second goal-less draw at Pride Park in three seasons, but it saw a welcome and shock return to action for full-back Jay McEveley who started for his first appearance in five months following a knee ligament injury. There was also a rare substitute appearance for Martin Devaney. He replaced Marlon Harewood just after the hour to appear for The Reds for the first time since the second game of the season.
