Davey enjoys Tykes spirit

Barnsley boss Simon Davey accepted that it was a tale of two halves in his side's 2-2 draw with Scunthorpe United at Glanford Park.
The Tykes were two goals down just after the interval, before hitting back to rescue a point thanks to Brian Howard's last-gasp penalty.
Davey said afterwards: "I thought we were diabolical in the first half. At half-time we needed to make sure we got a reaction from the players and we did, a positive reaction.
"I thought based on the second half that it was a thoroughly deserved point. The second-half performance will serve as a nice platform for us, as the first was disgraceful.
"It's a nice point for us and at 2-0 down it's a good result. Credit to the players, because they stuck in there."
