If we can tighten up at the back, we'll do more than enough to stay in the Championship although we have to make sure this win is not a one-off.&quot;</p><p class="story">Marc Richards scored the decisive goal, following a Paul Heckingbottom corner in the 10th minute.</p><p class="story"><span class="subh1"><a class="name" name="a"></a>Match details</span></p><p class="story">Barnsley (4-4-2): Colgan; Tonge, Hassell, Kay, Heckingbottom; Devaney (Healy 77), Howard, Togwell, McIndoe; Hayes (Wright 80), Richards (Williams 90).
