Barnsley manager Danny Wilson has hailed his side's performance against Leeds United in the Championship on Saturday.

The Tykes held their fellow Yorkshire rivals to a goalless draw at Elland Road to pick up a point in their battle for survival.

"It was a very good performance," Wilson told Barnsley's official website.

"We deserve a bit of credit for how we played with a really positive attitude. We didn't come just to make up the numbers.

"The result and performance are bound to give us confidence for the task ahead and the quality is there to survive. They have shown they can defend and we have something to build on."

Barnsley, whose next league game is against Bolton Wanderers at Oakwell on Boxing Day, are currently at the foot of the league table with 16 points from 21 matches.
