As it stands, Aston Villa are on their way to their first win in seven league games away from home.

There is still a long way to go, but Barnsley are yet to register a shot on target.

We are back up and running at Oakwell.

The hosts have made two changes with Ryan Hedges and Ike Ugbo coming on to replace George Moncur and Harvey Barnes.

After his side's sixth consecutive loss in all competitions, Birmingham City manager Harry Redknapp told BBC WM 95.6:

"We played well in the first half and started the second half well. Then they came on to us and we couldn't handle it.

"We sort of disintegrated a bit really. It was just rank poor play from us that cost us goals.

"The players have got to adjust to the Championship if they are going to survive in this league. It was horrendous defending in the middle of the park.

"I didn't tell them to do that, that's for sure, but I take the blame - that's the way the game is."

After Sol Bamba's stoppage-time equaliser for Cardiff denied Sheffield Wednesday all three points at the Cardiff City Stadium, Owls boss Carlos Carvalhal told BBC Radio Sheffield:

"In all our draws this season we have deserved something more. Today it was a very high-standard game, very high quality.

"We were fantastic in the first half. We silenced the crowd. I'm disappointed because my players deserved three points.

"It (Cardiff's goal) looked offside but it was a very hard decision for the assistant."

AP: Win, lose, or draw, the evening belongs to Patrick Cryne

Barnsley supporters have been touched by the words written by terminally ill club owner Patrick Cryne in the last matchday programme. So far, there has been little to celebrate on the pitch, but it won't take away from the depth of feeling at Oakwell, where they are also celebrating their 130th anniversary.

Following his side's 1-0 loss at Millwall earlier this afternoon, Leeds boss Thomas Christiansen told the club's website:

"I'm disappointed by the result. The first minutes showed how the game would be.

"We didn't come in to the match in the right way to take three points.

"It is one bad result. It is not right to judge the team on this."

Albert Adomah has come up with both goals for Aston Villa at Oakwell, the first from an atrocious defensive mix-up that saw a long ball dribble past goalkeeper Adam Davies and the second a coolly slotted penalty after Adam Jackson's challenge on Keinan Davis.

That penalty, it must be said was fiercely protested by the Tykes as Jackson appeared to get the slightest of touches as he clattered into Davis.

Keinan Davis is at it again, putting Barnsley's defence under all sorts of pressure.

He gets a shot off in the first of four added minutes at the end of the half, but it is dealt with easy enough.

Things are stating to get a bit feisty as well, with Jonathan Kodjia upset with something.

The referee doesn't hesitate as he points to the spot.

Barnsley's Adam Jackson did appear to get a bit of a touch on the ball as he stretches to challenge Keinan Davis in the box.

Barnsley have controlled 65% of possession tonight.

For their efforts so far they have a grand total of three corners and no shots on target.

They are playing it very patient this evening, waiting for Aston Villa to slip up.

Jason McCarthy is allowed to run, and run and run for Barnsley...

He is invited to shoot and obliges with a harmless toe-poke. Aston Villa captain John Terry had it covered and took a knock for his effort.

The former England and Chelsea skipper shakes it off. No worries.

These past few minutes from Barnsley has really got the home crowd in fine voice.

They are certainly knocking on the door of an equaliser, it seems. That final ball, however, is lacking right now.

A few half chances falling Barnsley's way now.

Jason McCarthy with the ball on the right, has Aston Villa's defence on high alert.

Danger is cleared behind for a corner.

Villa make a little hard work of mopping up from there as Glenn Whelan heads his attempted clearane against team-mate Ahmed Elmohamady. The visitors survive.

Adam Hammill sends in a wonderfully weighted lofted cross in from the right, which is scrambled behind for a corner.

All sorts of danger is created from the resulting corner from the left, with Matthew Pearson heading a chance wide.

Not a lot happening at the minute.

Aston Villa really have looked very comfortable and willing to invite Barnsley to come at them.

Steve Bruce's side are playing with composure at the back and really have been untroubled since being gifted the opening goal.

Barnsley's Adam Hammill is the first to go into the book.

Both he and Glenn Whelan have eyes for the ball, and they fly into the challenge. Whelan comes of a little worse and Hamill is shown a yellow.

Barnsley have been allowed to spring forward down the flanks a number of times, but each time their attack is suffocated when centred.

George Moncur is the latest to whip a ball in, but it is swept away with ease.

Jonathan Kodjia has thrown himself into plenty of the action in his first start of the season for Aston Villa.

The visitors seeing plenty of the ball but are labouring to carve out clear cut chances.

Some space opens up for Keinan Davis and he lets rip from distance. High and harmless.
