Head2Head & Early Team News - Donny Rovers

The Millers, with just one win in 13 games, need to start picking up points and fast to pull back ground on the sides above them.

Boss Alan Knill has his hands tied on team selection as no new faces are expected to arrive at Millmoor until next week, so it may be 'as you were' from the humiliation at Millwall.

Fit again

Knill will have to make at least one change though as Justin Cochrane sits out a one game ban. Michael Keane may be fit enough to return to the squad but is likely to have to settle for a place on the bench. Meanwhile Pablo Mills and Gregor Robertson should also be fit after a full week's training.

May return?

Knill admits it's been tough of late, especially trying to defend his players: "The previous week I had been asked a question and I defended people. I said I was passionate about this football club and I was passionate about my players. It's right.

"Then comes last Saturday and I don't want to come out and say what I said last week - it hurts to do that and it really hurt.

"But it was the way I felt, saying it as I'd seen it.Players have to take some responsibility, it can't always come from the management", he told the Star.

Home manager Shaun O'Driscioll has only one fit goalkeeper in youngster Ben Smith as Alan Blayney had his contract cancelled yesterday following Andy Warrington's loan switch to Bury, and Jan Budtz has also left the Keepmoat to join Wolves on loan and will not be offered a new deal.

Elsewhere striker Mark McCammon has seen a specialist to clear up a heel problem and full back Sean McDaid is making progress from a long term ligament problem. O'Driscoll said: "Sean was out kicking the ball for the first time yesterday, so that is good news. Mark was able to get a boot on yesterday and he did a bit of impact and fitness work, so that is step forward.

"We'll see how Mark goes but I haven't ruled him out of the Rotherham game."

The Millers have the better of the head to head by a distance, but the first game in the new community stadium is set to be a toughie.
