Barnsley manager David Flitcroft has said that his side needed more belief during their defeat to Queens Park Rangers at Loftus Road on Saturday.
Charlie Austin scored two second-half goals to leave Barnsley rooted to the bottom of the Championship.
"The first half was evenly matched. In the second half we allowed them a foothold in the game. We needed more belief to drive on and get something," the club's official Twitter account quotes him as saying.
"It's sloppiness for the first goal with a short corner and you can't give Charlie Austin an inch.
"It was comfortable but you've got to see details through. You can't afford half a second switched off."
Barnsley remain bottom of the Championship with five points from their opening 11 matches.
