Barnsley's Michael Duff rues penalty pain and Belshaw brilliance as Bristol Rovers turn corner

Barnsley manager Michael Duff insists his side were denied two penalties in their 0-0 draw with Bristol Rovers and that the Gas were indebted to the performance of goalkeeper James Belshaw.

Rovers frustrated the in-form Tykes to claim a third clean sheet in their last four matches, delivering further evidence that Joey Barton and his coaches have started to fix the defensive issues that have held them back for much of this season.

It was a fine rear-guard effort, with Belshaw making fine saves from Liam Kitching and Herbie Kane, Jarell Quansah and Lewis Gibson once again impressed as a centre-back pairing and the rest of the team were organised and disciplined in their work.
