"I've come for all three points, we needed all three," he said after Tomasz Cywka had won a point for the Tykes with a late equaliser.
"It was second half dominance but we started chasing the game. Everything about the boy (Cywka), he's been incredible. The test of any player is when you're out of the team. He's a fantastic professional and a fantastic person.
"I thought Chris O'Grady carried the fight in the second half. I thought he was brave and bullied the two centre halves in the second half. I look at the bench and we've got options. We've got a squad that want to play and want to be a part of what's going on.
"We've come through tonight quite well. We'll go through this game tomorrow, we'll reflect on it together as a group and move on to Saturday."
Sean Dyche wasn't impressed with his team's performance and he certainly wasn't impressed with abject referee Carl Boyeson.
“I am stunned by the decisions that went against us tonight," he said. “In the first half Charlie has been hit with a two-footer and I am amazed the player stays on the field of play.
“We’ve had an elbow incident with no yellow card, Martin Paterson through on goal and pulled back by a player who has already been booked and then, of course, the penalty to go 2-0 up.
“That settles everyone in the crowd down and the job is done, but it’s not given and it’s amazing in my experience as a manager. If you get one decision wrong, then maybe we’ve all had that, but when you get three big, game-changing decisions wrong, that makes it a tough night and it gets everyone agitated.
“I am just flummoxed, but there’s nothing I can do, so onwards and upwards.”
He added: “I don’t like to go into stuff like this because I like to look at the performance. I am honest enough to admit we weren’t at the races tonight, to be fair. We huffed and puffed, got the early goal and should be building in confidence.
“There’s a strange feeling around the ground at the moment and I don’t know whether that affects the players, but the game should be over and decisions are massive in football and when three go against you, that’s really tough.
“I thought the fact they (Barnsley) got away with those three decisions gave them belief. As footballers, you can smell that in the air. When you get away with one, it’s happy days. Two and then three and you start thinking it can be your night.
“We don’t seem to have had the rub since I’ve been at this football club. We can hope that changes, but at the minute we are having to over-earn results because it’s not just the 11 you are playing against.”
