Team News and opposing managers thoughts..
Andy Hessenthaler on the Millers: "Rotherham will be tough. Andy Scott's assembled a really good squad up there. Last season, we went there and won 1-0, so I expect us to play with no fear.
"The atmosphere at their ground isn't as good as it could be because of the running track around the pitch, but that might actually help us, we've got to try and use that in our favour.
"The formation we've been playing has suited us so far but we don't have many options up front. We've had Rotherham watched a couple of times. We'll decide which way we want to go come Saturday."
Andy Scott goes into the game missing Adam Le Fondre who is talking over personal terms regards his move to Reading, Ryan Cresswell and Jason Taylor return to the side.
