‘Barnsley need to start converting possession to goals and learn how to defend set pieces’
Barnsley Team News:
Stephen Foster is available following suspension.
David Perkins and Akos Buzsaky are injury doubts.

Reserve team coach Gary Bowyer takes charge of Rovers following the sacking of Henning Berg.

It’s a team we could beat with the run they’ve been on but whilst we continue to concede goals from set pieces and are so woeful in front of goal I can’t see anything other than defeat.
