Rose features in England side
Michael Rose featured in England's National Game XI team that drew 0-0 in Holland last night.
The Dutch side, made up of under-21 players, almost snatched victory late on when Rose's mistake allowed Dennis Pardijs to cross from the left in injury time, but on the whole, the Hereford United defender had a solid game.
Speaking at the final whistle, Paul Fairclough told thefa.com: "I am disappointed with the result, but delighted with the performance. Holland had one shot on target all game, and could have won had it not been for a fantastic save by Chris Weale.
"Gregg Blundell got in some great positions, had three great chances, and on another night would have scored three goals, but it was not to be.
"Our back four were outstanding and I thought the midfield pairing of Drummond and Norris also played well. In fact, the only player who struggled was Lee Johnson, and after he had been ill with a stomach complaint for 2 days, we decided to only give him a few minutes late in the game, when we would all have wished for him to have had longer."
England Squad: Wayne Brown (Chris Weale - 59mins), John Kennedy, Scott Guyett (Captain), Danny Collins, Michael Rose, Mark Janney (Jimmy Jackson - 69mins), Richard Norris (Lee Johnson - 82mins), Stewart Drummond, Lee Elam, Gregg Blundell (Adriano Rigoglioso - 59mins), Junior Agogo (Roscoe d'Sane - 74mins)
