Barnsley 2 Boro 1: Tykes rocking to Robins as Colace winner hits Strachan
Like Gordon Strachan, Barnsley manager Mark Robins is a graduate from the Sir Alex Ferguson school of management, but there is no doubt who has made the more positive impact at their new club this year. [LNB]Barnsley had one point and were second bottom when Robins joined from Rotherham 16 games ago. They have lost just three since and stretched their unbeaten run to eight matches with this victory to move up to 15th in the table, two points behind Middlesbrough.

This was agood test, a good three points and a great end to the year. We need tokeep it going.'[LNB]A brilliant second-half comeback piled more misery on Strachan, who has won twice in 10 games since replacing Gareth Southgate.[LNB] Strachan's team, which is being stretched to the limit by injuries and his decision to cast off loan players, blew their chance of victory after leading at half-time through Justin Hoyte. [LNB]They were behind within 12 minutes of the re-start, with goals from Stephen Foster and Hugo Colace winning it for Barnsley.[LNB] Strachan said: 'We won the game in the first half but they rightly made it a cup tie and won it. That is a big concern for us.'[LNB] Newcastle 0 Derby 0: Ghosts of '96 begin to haunt ToonNottingham Forest 2 Coventry 0: Billy Davies wants signings despite winCLICK HERE FOR THE LATEST CHAMPIONSHIP TABLE AND STATISTICSAll the fizz of the Coca-Cola League: Gradi, Strachan and a first ever red [LNB]
