Stendel’s men who had won their last three League One games heading into the match, including an outstanding 2-0 win at Accrington, saw their impressive unbeaten run come under threat as Doncaster outplayed the hosts throughout the game and led through Herbie Kane.

However, Cauley Woodrow came off the bench to down the Rovers, firing home an equalizer that earned a 1-1 draw and kept Barnsley unbeaten at Oakwell since March.

Barnsley were below bar throughout the game but remain third on the league table and Stendel was in a frank mood after the game.

Giving his traditional post match conference after the game, the manager said, “I think in the end we can be satisfied with the draw. Compliments to Doncaster as they were very good. We played good, but not good enough to win this game in the end.”

“It’s okay, we can’t play well every week. The last week was good and all the last games we played very well.”

Barnsley striker Cauley Woodrow’s exclusion from the starting lineup raised a few eyebrows after he scored in his last two starts and looked to be forming a nice partnership up front with Kieffer Moore.

However the former Fulham man, who missed the first three months of the season with a nasty hamstring injury, could not be kept down.

After Kane had fired the Rovers ahead just few minutes into the second period of the game, Woodrow came off the bench to latch on to Brad Potts’ layoff to poke home, sealing a draw for the hosts.

Barnsley will be looking to keep up with their recent form as they continue in their quest for promotion to the Championship.

Wayne Rooney is set to make his lowest Premier League scoring tally since playing for Manchester United with only 7 goals to his name – every other season he has hit double figures. He recently returned to action against Aston Villa – however he wasn’t able to find the back of the net.

In the wake of Rooney’s absence plenty of other English players have been making their mark. Daniel Sturridge is getting more game time after recovering from another knee injury under Jurgen Klopp and reached 50 goals for Liverpool against Everton mid-week. Despite a lack of game time he still has 10 goals in 20 games for Liverpool this season, boasting a ratio of 0.5 goals a game.

Vardy and Kane have made notable impression throughout the whole season sharing the top scorer charts with Argentine Sergio Aguero. Vardy and Kane are both looking for the Premier League title in a two horse showdown – Hodgson will surely have no choice to take both players who have been massively influential in their club’s teams.

With Sturridge, Vardy and Kane almost certain to get picked – it will be a tight squeeze to fit Rooney in, however, he is the captain. Another play who will be disappointed on missing out will be former Manchester United player Danny Welbeck. Although his injury has been hampered by injuries he has a very respectable return when playing for England and scored some important goals in the qualifying campaign.
