Head2Head - Bradford AFC - Early team news.
Last updated : 02 March 2007 By Bigrich.....
Well, Knill's gone and Robbo takes charge for the game against Bradford at Millmoor. Wether a victory would make a real difference to our plight come May is immaterial but the fans really need to see at least a fight from our players. Will the managerial change spur a new look Rotherham performance??
Bradford come into the game with mixed form, just one win in their last 6 away games, however that is still better than our home form which has seen us collect just 2 points from the last 6 home games.

Mark Robins will be without the usual long term injury victims, Colin Murdock, Gregor Robertson, while Eugen Bopp's season is just about over with injuries to both ankles. While confusion reigns over Michael Keane with reports that he is available to play conflicting other reports that he is still injured. According to Radio Sheffield, he has put some pounds on...
Speaking to the clubs official site earlier, Robbo said "There will possibly be one or two changes to the team for tomorrow when we take on Bradford, it's a bottom of the table clash and it's going to be a tough game, I've picked a team that will be up for the battle and hopefully get all the points to reward our supporters for their fabulous support throughout the season. The team have worked very hard today and look to be confident, they have responded well to me taking charge and look positive, I will be expecting a good performance from the lads tomorrow, without a shadow of a doubt."
"I would ask the fans to get behind the team for tomorrows game and raise the roof, let's make some noise down at Millmoor and get the place back to how it should be, and we will do our best to reward you all for the tremendous support you have shown, with a win."
