Barnsley boss Neil Collins rued his side’s lack of clinical edge after Herbie Kane’s late penalty earned them a 1-1 League One draw at Shrewsbury.
The Tyke’s second-half stoppage-time equaliser means they remain in fourth position but are now five points behind third-placed Bolton as they extended their unbeaten away run to eight games in the league.
Shrewsbury pulled ahead after just seven minutes through a Nicky Cadden own goal. Dan Udoh drove a dangerous ball into the box before the Barnsley wing-back guided it into his own net.
Home substitute Taylor Perry conceded a penalty at the death after bringing down Mael De Gevigney in the area and Kane stepped up to convert the resulting spot-kick for the Tykes.
Both sides had plenty of chances, but the heroics of Shrewsbury goalkeeper Marko Marosi ensured Barnsley left the Croud Meadow with only a share of the spoils.
Barnsley boss Collins said: “On Saturday, we saw a good goalkeeping performance at Leyton Orient and tonight – Shrewsbury keeper Marko Marosi – managed to up it.
“We should have got more than one goal if our finishing was a little better, but credit to the keeper, he was outstanding. Two or three of the best saves I have seen this season.
“The two negatives is the early goal again. We have got to nip that in the bud. It has been a trend from the start of the season.
“We have had periods when we have not done it and we have been very successful, but it gives us a mountain to climb.
“Then, of course, our finishing at times could have been better, but we are coming away with a fantastic performance.
“We should have scored goals. All-in-all, there is more to be positive about, but the frustration is the performance should have earned three points.”
Shrewsbury boss Paul Hurst said: “I thought we looked like we were running on empty in quite a few areas.
“I would like us to be fitter generally. I would like us to have some options that we perhaps haven’t got.
“Credit to the lads that absolutely gave everything. We need that sort of commitment and effort, not just against Barnsley or Derby but against anyone we face.
“We felt there were certain parts of the game where we could hurt Barnsley and maybe the goal was a slight example of that.
“It was a great start and that hopefully give the lads confidence and it gets the crowd involved, who were great all night.
“I feel for Marko. He deserved a clean sheet tonight, there is no doubt about it.
“More often then not, playing against a top team you are going to need your keeper to make some big saves at big moments and he certainly did that.”
