Win just perfect for Wilson

Barnsley boss Danny Wilson was delighted to cap his 1,000th competitive game in management with a 2-0 success over Leyton Orient.

Conor Hourihane's 10th league goal of the season and a calm finish from on-loan Manchester City striker Devante Cole was enough to give the Reds a comfortable victory at Oakwell. Wilson's side played the final 16 minutes with 10 men after goalkeeper Ross Turnbull had been sent off for being adjudged to have handled outside his penalty area, but Barnsley stood strong to claim a first win in five league games. Wilson said: "I'm very proud of getting to this stage, but you want to remember it with a win and not by a defeat. "It's a great occasion. It's ironic that my first league game (as a manager) was here and then my 1,000th; it's just fantastic, I couldn't have celebrated it anywhere better. "All the ingredients of a real, real tough football match were there to be seen, particularly second half when we showed great character and resilience to get the result when we were down to 10 men. "I don't think we've really been troubled, in terms of goalkeeping saves, throughout the game. We've looked fairly strong, particularly in our defensive work." Wilson was unsure about the dismissal of Turnbull and said the club may appeal the decision. "I've seen a little bit on the footage, it doesn't look like it's actually hit him on the hands," he added. "It looks like the ball hits him in the chest and Ross seems to think that was the case. "Speaking to the referee, he's adamant it's handball and so is one of the assistant referees. We'll have a look at it again and, if we find it's conclusive it's hit him in the chest, then we'll appeal it." Leyton Orient manager Fabio Liverani felt his side were poor and the performance was worse than the showing in the home defeat to Peterborough in his first game in charge last weekend. The result leaves Orient joint bottom of the division and Liverani said he understood the anger and boos of the travelling fans at half-time and full-time. Speaking with the help of goalkeeping coach Roberto Gagliardi, Liverani said: "When I arrived we were third from bottom, now we're joint bottom but it is also true that the distance between mid-table and the bottom is very short, it is only four or five points. "There is a lot to work on and it is a step back compared to the previous game. "I accept the fans booing the players, and not just the players, the staff included, at half-time because the performance was poor. "But, on the other hand, the second half was much better, we played with guts and heart as I asked during half-time so I am hopeful for the continuation of the season. "The players are united, we train hard during the week and we do well during the week. "Perhaps it's a bit of a lack of confidence because basically the same team last season was close to promotion and now we're bottom of the league. "Next Friday we have an important game (at home against Crawley), for us it's like a Champions League final."
