Check out T&A reporter Simon Parker's game guide and player ratings.

MAN OF THE MATCH

Very little to pick from in a game where City never really got going. Nathaniel Knight-Percival didn’t do a lot wrong against Barnsley’s dangerous attack.

MOMENT OF THE MATCH

City were pretty comfortable until the opening goal and paid the price for switching off.

MOAN OF THE MATCH

City didn’t have a single shot on target and only two efforts at goal in total.

TACTICS

Paudie O’Connor came straight in as David Hopkin reshuffled to move Ryan McGowan to right wing-back and Paul Caddis into centre midfield.
