Here’s how Pool’s players rated:
7. Matty Virtue - 8/10
A really encouraging display on his first start of the season. Provided energy and went close with a dipping volley. Photo: CameraSport - Dave Howarth
8. Owen Dale - 8/10
Provided a moment of quality to open the scoring with his second of the season. Lively in other moments. Photo: CameraSport - Dave Howarth
9. Charlie Kirk - 7/10
Showed quality on the ball and caused Barnsley problems with his crossing from set-pieces and wide positions. Photo: CameraSport - Ian Cook
10. Shayne Lavery - 7/10
Always on the run and looking to get in behind, but chances were at a premium. Not a lot came off for him. Photo: CameraSport - Dave Howarth
11. Jake Beesley - 8/10
Unlucky not to score after hitting the post. Held the ball up well and threaded a superb through-ball for Dale’s goal. Photo: CameraSport - Dave Howarth
12. SUB: CJ Hamilton - 6/10
For Kirk, 68
Didn’t get much of a chance to turn on the after-burners and utilise his pace, so struggled to get in the game. Photo: CameraSport - Rob Newell
