Barnsley manager Paul Heckingbottom was delighted with Manchester United striker Ashley Fletcher's performance in their draw with Colchester.

Fletcher struck twice for Barnsley in the 2-2 draw.

"That's probably his most consistent game from 0-90 minutes," Heckingbottom told The Sheffield Star. "He did well. Fletch was really positive and buoyant before the game and you sensed that he'd have a good game.

"Luckily, he got the two goals and most of our good play and opportunities were through our individual quality - whether it was a delivery, a run or a bit of skill.

"I thought he was good [in the] first half last week against Sheffield United and we spoke about that and how he can replicate that form over longer periods. And he did it, so fair play to him. He's got some real good attributes and the more time he's spending here with us, the more he's learning how to be effective in the game using those attributes."
