Barnsley 0-0 QPR

FA Cup quarter-finalists Barnsley were brought down to earth by QPR who left the home side without a win in three league games.

The Tykes dominated the first half and Istvan Ferenczi went close when his headed effort rattled the post.

The Hoops fought back after the break with Martin Rowlands forcing Luke Steele into saving a 25-yard effort.

Akos Buzsaky's low cross should have been converted by a QPR team-mate while Lewin Nyatanga denied Angelo Balanta.

Barnsley boss Simon Davey:
"I think people have got to appreciate that conditions were poor. The wind was swerving round and lots of passes went astray.

"We've got a point but possibly with the chances we had we were disappointed that we didn't take all three.

"As well as missing some good chances we also had a couple of penalty shouts turned down. It's just unfortunate."

QPR boss Luigi De Canio:
"Possibly we had the better chances coming up to the second period of the game. For large parts of the game we commanded the play.

"They had a good early chance and a couple of times on the counter-attack they were quite dangerous.

"But they looked very much like they were playing away from home."
