'Deserved' - Barnsley boss has his say on Nottingham Forest and gives verdict on cup clash

Barnsley boss Gerhard Struber believes his side's win over Nottingham Forest in the Carabao Cup was a deserved victory after Cauley Woodrow's winner knocked the Reds out of the tournament.

Forest failed to find the net against the Tykes on a tough day at Oakwell that any hopes of an early season cup run deteriorate.

"I think the performance was OK," said Struber, despite knocking Forest out. "There are many things I see that we must improve but it was a good first step and a good direction," Struber said.

"In the end I think it was a deserved win for us and a good feeling for Cauley Woodrow. I think he is a key player in the team and he is a player who can score goals.

"We had a very good second half with more combinations on the ground.

"The biggest focus is the Championship and we will be very professional in the EFL Cup. I am happy with the performance and the result.

He added: "Coronavirus is a never-ending story, but I hope that the supporters come back and that we have the atmosphere in the stadium that everyone wants."
