Opposition view: Barnsley boss satisfied with 'professional' performance at Sixfields
Barnsley manager Conor Hourihane was satisfied with his side’s ‘professional’ performance in their 1-0 win at Sixfields on Tuesday.
Reyes Cleary scored the game’s only goal with a fine finish late in the first half as Barnsley claimed their first victory in five games to move up to 13th.
"It was important just to win before the season was out because I didn't want it to just fizzle out and not put in some performances," said Hourihane. "I felt we deserved something from Luton at the weekend but it was a really professional performance tonight.
"I asked the lads to just go out there and win a game of football for everyone – for the fans, for the staff, for themselves. It's nice to win and it's really important to never take any win for granted.
"I thought we looked like a better side, we were more solid and limited them to few chances, and if we had shown more ruthlessness, we probably could have scored another and made it more comfortable. We haven't won enough over the course of the season but we should never lose sight of the fact that every win is valuable."
