mentality that we have shown.”
Mowatt gave the hosts the perfect start with his third goal of the season when he tapped in from close range from Jacob Brown’s low cross.
It was all Barnsley as Luke Thomas rifled over with a stinging left-foot drive, before Clarke Oduor shot over with a curling free-kick from distance.
Austrian debutant Marcel Ritzmaier went agonisingly close to doubling the lead, but his fierce shot was deflected just wide.
The Terriers failed to create a single chance in the first half and boss Danny Cowley made two changes at the break, with Florent Hadergjonaj replacing Jaden Brown, while striker Steve Mounie was a surprise replacement for leading scorer Karlan Grant.
But it was Chaplin who increased the lead from close range in the 65th minute to make it eight goals in his 11 league games.
Town hit back with O’Brien’s stunning strike into the top corner and then keeper Sami Radlinger saved well at his near post from Mounie before strike partner Fraizer Campbell acrobatically volleyed over.
Mounie should have equalised but blazed high and wide from Juninho Bacuna’s dangerous cross.
“I’m disappointed,” said Cowley. “The first half was not good. Lewis got us back in it but we lacked quality.”
