After two excellent goals from Alfie May had twice given Charlton the lead either side of an Adam Phillips penalty, a feisty second period saw a volley from Fabio Jalo ruled out for a tight offside decision.
“We should have been sitting here with a point,” said Collins. “But we’re not because of a poor decision at the end of the game. He’s a yard onside, so I’m really disappointed with that.”
The visitors also had a shout for a penalty before the one they were awarded in the first half, when Devante Cole and Michael Hector tangled.
“It’s a stonewall penalty,” Collins said. “Devante goes through, he’s about to shoot, he gets bundled over. How he didn’t get that, I’m not quite sure.”
The Barnsley boss did concede his side had the chances to win the game.
He said: “At half-time, we should have been in the lead. But we weren’t because of missed opportunities. Cole is going through a little period right now. I’m sure it will be a matter of time before he’s putting them in the back of the net.
