Jim O'Brien praises Barnsley defenders

O'Brien hails Tykes defenders

Barnsley winger Jim O'Brien has praised his "brilliant" defensive teammates following the Tykes' narrow victory over Millwall.

The 26-year-old scored the game' only goal in the fourth minute, rounding keeper David Forde to give his side the lead which they held on to.

"It was a great team performance and it feels good in there," O'Brien told the club's official website. "All the back four were brilliant. The two centre-halves headed everything today.

"I think we have to build on that and take it into each game. It's going to be a scrap into the end of the season and today shows that we're up for it."

Despite the victory, Barnsley remain in the Championship relegation zone.
