Barnsley ended a chaotic week on a high note, booking a spot in the League One play-offs with a 1-1 draw against Northampton Town.

Interim head coach Martin Devaney oversaw the draw, having picked up the baton following the sacking of Neill Collins. The performance was not particularly glamorous but it was effective, ensuring a season of work was not squandered on the final day of the regular season. Herbie Kane notched the opener with a stylish strike from distance, giving Barnsley a lead that was eventually surrendered late on.

Consecutive deliveries into the box needed turning behind but the visitors could not make Barnsley pay with the resulting set-pieces. Northampton’s resurgence continued as Barnsley’s grip on the game weakened with the half-time whistle approaching. Appere managed to race in behind the Reds backline but a last-ditch tackle from Jordan Williams on the recovery put an end to the threat.
