3 things we clearly learnt about Barnsley during their 2-1 defeat to Luton Town last night

Barnsley recorded a sixth straight Championship defeat last night at Kenilworth Road, with Luton Town making further strides towards the play-off positions. 

Allan Campbell tapped home in the 29th minute, following a huge scramble in the Barnsley box, before Carlton Morris capitalised on a defensive error to coolly level the scoring. 

The Hatters’ winner came in the 59th minute when Fred Onyedinma was taken down in the area by Brad Collins, with Elijah Adebayo stepping up and firing in. 

Here, we take a look at three things we learnt about the Tykes last night…

Impressive in stages

Barnsley once again played some exciting, fluent football against the Hatters and created a couple of good openings operating in this way. 

John Benson, Domingos Quina and Amine Bassi picked up some good positions and helped progress the play with intelligent passing and real intensity. 

All in all, the Tykes kept the ball very well and caused the high-flying Hatters several problems as a result, however, they were unable to consistently carve through.

Domingos Quina can be a big influence 

Quina looked very lively with his jinxing runs, pace and trickery causing the Luton defence all sorts of problems. 

The young midfielder’s creativity and influence in the final third will have provided Barnsley fans with hope that they can battle themselves out of this relegation fight. 

Quina linked up very well with Carlton Morris and Bassi when going forward, whilst he picked up some very intelligent positions in attacking positions.

Defence is still resolute

Mads Andersen, Michal Helik and Liam Kitching dealt with the physicality of Adebayo, and the pace of Harry Cornick very well and severely restricted them. 

Luton saw a fair bit of joy on the right
