Barnsley lost further ground on League One’s top two with a 0-0 draw at Lincoln City on Tuesday evening.
It was a dull match of few chances with the Reds struggling to break down their resilient hosts.
All of the top three won so the Reds are six points off the top two with four games left.
Devante Cole replaced Slobodan Tedic in the only change to the 11 from Saturday’s 5-1 win at Forest Green Rovers.
Very little happened in the first quarter of the game, with Jordan Williams blazing over from 30 yards for Barnsley and Lincoln’s Dylan Duffy curling off-target from just outside the box.
James Norwood headed an Adam Phillips cross wide then, after Paudie O’Connor made a mess of a low Williams cross, Herbie Kane blasted just over from just inside the box.
Harry Isted saved easily from a looping Luke Plange header then was beaten by an O’Connor header but it bounced off the crossbar after the defender met a corner from the left.
Barnsley started the second half well, with a Luca Connell free-kick leading to a goalmouth scramble before the goalkeeper claimed the ball.
Lincoln’s Duffy headed a right-wing cross well over just before the hour-mark.
Barnsley had their first shot on target in the 88th minute when substitute Luke Thomas’ weak long-range effort was easily saved.
Slobodan Tedic sent a looping header onto the roof of the net from a Kitching cross in injury-time.
