Oscar Garcia felt Albion had the chances to beat Barnsley today.

But the Albion head coach admitted it took his side 45 minutes to really get going.

Oscar said the relegation-threatened Tykes harried his men out of their stride in the first half.

But he thought that changed after the break.

Oscar said: “I think in the first half the game was quite even.

“We had some problems to play as we wanted to play.

“But in the second half I think we were the better side.

“We created the best chances but we didn’t take them.

“They pressed high, they pressed with energy. They are playing not to get relegated.

"We expected them to start the game full of energy but, in the second half, we knew they would start to get tired.”

Albion have now gone five games without a win but have drawn away from home twice in the past week.

Oscar added: “I think in the last two games we showed a lot of character.”
