VALERIEN Ismael slammed referee Leigh Doughty despite his Barnsley side getting the better of Nottingham Forest for the third time this season.
Forest haven’t laid a glove on Barnsley in three games, going down 1-0 in the Carabao Cup on the opening day and losing 2-0 in the league.
They barely bothered the Tykes again and, but for two second-half Brice Samba saves, would have suffered a damaging defeat in their relegation fight.
But furious Ismael reckons Barnsley should have had the hat-trick of wins.
Forest have lost only one league game in their last eight, but Samba saved them with a superb tip over the bar from Herbie Kane’s tremendous volley in the 53rd minute.
Then Samba got in the way of Cauley Woodrow’s close-range header before Joe Worrall cleared.
Anthony Knockaert wasted a golden chance to win it for the hosts when he turned Cyrus Christie’s cross wide from just three yards.
