JP Trophy Northern Semi Final Rotherham United v Darlington 16 December 2008 7.45pm, DVS

The Millers will be looking to bounce back to winning ways tonight and grab a passage into the Northern Area finals to face either Scunthorpe or Tranmere in the Johnstone's Paint Trophy.

Standing in their way though are Dave Penney's Quakers, already winners in the league at DVS this season amidst Rotherham's poor run of form.

There's little to say about each side who'll know eachother inside out, it's who will want it more on the night that counts. The boggy DVS pitch could well play a part in some quarters and it might suit Darlo's direct style a touch more folowing Saturday's poor weather.

Regards team selection, boss Mark Robins is without the suspended duo Drewe Broughton and David Stockdale, with Ryan Taylor and Steve Cann set to deputise for them. Mark Hudson has had the effects of a virus and is rated 50/50, which could mean a return for Danny Harrison with Pablo Mills out.

Elsewhere Richie Barker is cup-tied.

Penney is hoping to have a full strength outfit available, with only Alan White facing a weekend suspension for five bookings and Pawel Abbott sidelined with ankle damage.
