Barnsley have now gone five games without a win in all competitions, their worst run since January/February.
The Reds have won only two of their last nine league games, losing five and they are only three points above the League One relegation zone.
Barnsley have opened the scoring in each of their past three league fixtures but have won none of them and lost two. Indeed they have gone 1-0 up in seven of their last nine league matches, but they have gone on to win just two.
The Reds have now lost despite opening the scoring on four occasions this season, their most for exactly 10 years.
Barnsley have scored in 11 league games in a row, their best run since netting in 17 successive league games between 22nd December 2012 and 1st April 2013.
Lewin Nyatanga scored in two successive league games for the first time in his career.
Barnsley have now squandered a lead within one minute (against Scunthorpe) and within two minutes this season.
