Colin on Millers clash

Last updated : 25 February 2005 By Bigrich.....

Rotherham are playing for bragging rights plus the desperate need for points to catch Nottingham Forest and Gillingham at the bottom of the Championship. Meanwhile the Blades are desperate for a win to arrest their losing run and to restart their play-off push.

Warnock says exclusively on clubcall that his players will not take the Millers lightly: "I think they've got some good players, the fact that it's a local derby as well is a big leveller. The lads are looking forward to it, we've had a lot of travelling and it's nice to be at home for a few games."

Warnock has also moved to praise now departed Rotherham boss Ronnie Moore: "He had a fantastic time there the club has gone to new heights they've never reached before...only time will tell if it was the right decision."

For the Millers Rob Scott is fit again and Will Hoskins is expected to play up front again after the youngster was handed a start in the four-one defeat at Sunderland. Sheffield United will play former Miller Phil Barnes in goal with Paddy Kenny out injured.

Meanwhile there is still no developments on two potential loan signings though there are rumours linking two Blackburn veterans to a move to Rotherham.

To hear Neil Warnock, plus Andy King on his loan star Michael Proctor as well as expert assesment of the Blackburn rumours and an interview with Paul Hurst call clubcall on 0904 064 1003.
