Tony Pulis has overseen seven matches no without a win and a sinking feeling is setting in at S6.
Who came out of the 2-1 defeat at Barnsley with credit and who, well, didn’t?
Here are our match ratings as the Tykes recorded their first Hillsborough win for over a decade.
1. Joe Wildsmith - 4
Was perhaps unlucky to make a mistake for Barnsley's first, but a mistake it was, failing to deal with things at the front post. Distribution was mixed. A shame after a string of good performances. Photo: Stu Forster
2. Moses Odubajo - 4
Caught out for Barnsley's first goal and wasn't at his busy best going forward. Looked tired. Photo: Steve Ellis
3. Tom Lees - 5
Some stray passes in the first half, but looked more sturdy in the second. Had one cleared off the line. Photo: Stu Forster
4. Chey Dunkley - 5
Off exhausted after the hour. A surprise inclusion, showed leadership Wednesday have lacked and was not at fault for either goal. Strong in the air. Will improve with games. Photo: Getty
