The game started with a minute silence for George Best who died during the week, aged 59.
This was a poor game from the start, and Barnsley took the lead after only 8 minutes with a close range goal from Martin Devaney after he was left unmarked.
Swindon didn't look like scoring in the first half, with Barnsley coming close again, but a shot from them went very close from an angle but ended up going out for a corner.
Swindon's first half chances were restricted to a couple of free kicks which went over, and the rest were cleared away before Barnsley's defenders.
At the start of the second half new loan signing Petr Mikolando came as replacing Andy Gurney who had been booked during the first half. Mikolando played well, but was unable to score, although he did came close half way through the second half.
Barnsley scored their second goal on 52 minutes with a shot from the edge of the box from Chris Shuker beating the diving Tom Heaton in the Swindon goal.
Rory Fallon came close to getting a goal back against his old club after a corner from Christian Roberts, but he somehow managed to head the ball over the bar.
During the game 8 Swindon players were booked including Roberts, Gurney, Ifil, Jenkins, and O'Hanlon by the over fussy referee.
On 68 minutes it was all over for Swindon with many fans deciding the call it and da, give up and go home after a third goal by Barnsley with another goal by Chris Shuker by inside the box. Heaton dived for the ball, but not far enough as he missed the ball which should have been cleared away by the Swindon defence.
Swindon's second new loan signing Aaron Brown came off the bench on 72 minutes replacing Miglioranzi. He also played fairly well, but came on too late to make much difference.
The game finished with Barnsley winning the poor game by 3-0. None of Swindon's players stood out as man of the matches with all having fairly poor to average games. It was one of those game that you just wanted to end. Swindon now have another two long distance away games in a row, travelling to South Yorkshire on Saturday to play Rotherham.
