Boss blames wasteful Tykes

Barnsley boss Andy Ritchie blamed a failure to take chances after the Tykes slipped to a 2-1 defeat against Derby on Wednesday night.
Three points would have moved the South Yorkshire club out of the drop zone, but they surrendered a one-goal lead at Pride Park, leaving Ritchie clear on where the problems were.
He said: "The simple fact is that we played for 70 minutes and you can't afford to play for 70 minutes.
"We have given them too much room for 15-20 minutes of the game and we have got punished with two goals.
"We should have been 3-0 up before they scored. If you miss your chances like we are, you are forever defending something that's not there."
