Team News..
Rotherham caretaker boss Steve Thornber has a few selection headaches ahead of the clash.
Nick Fenton and Tom Pope played a part in the reserves 2-1 defeat to Lincoln in midweek and should be fit to start. Likewise midfielder Micky Cummins who scored in the game.
Striker Adam Le Fondre is a doubt though with a twisted ankle as is Nicky Law who had painkiling injections in his toe last week.
Skipper Ian Sharps trained yesterday and the Millers will leave it late before making a decision on his fitness.
Cheltenham will continue to be wothout Michael Pook, Shane Duff and Kyle Haynes through injury, but boss Msrtin Allen has Elvis Hammond available again and he may partner veteran Barry Hayles upfront, who scored the winner at Bury last Saturday.
