The Dons are 8 points clear of the Millers who currently sit in 3rd place, just a point above Peterborough.

Pettigrew in team??

After losing their last 2 games, also crunch games against fellow promotion candidates, Mark Robins could ring the changes for tomorrows game, however after looking for a new striker in the loan market, the Millers have no new blood this week although Derek Holmes could be in line for a recall to the starting line up after the Millers have misfired recently. New signing Adrian Pettigrew is in line to at least be in the squad.

Boss Robins today called for the fans to keep behind the team, especially the younger members; "We have to stick together from the players right down to the supporters if we are going to progress, It's the first time we have had back to back losses. We have to go to Milton Keynes now and it's a tough run ahead, so we'll see where we are after those games."

"It wasn't an ideal result against Hereford but we do have 17 games left. We have to put the defeat behind us and move on, but confidence isn't dented because the chances we missed will go in on another day. Having said that, the lads are young and they have to be given their chance, it depends on them to see if they come through it," he told the Advertiser.

Don's boss Paul Ince saw his team bounce back from 3 poor results by hammering Bury 5-1 last weekend, but their home form has its flaws, their last win there was on new years day.

Ince will be without defender Sean O'Hanlon who sits out suspended.

After the manner of the MK Dons victory over the Millers last month, can Robins team gain revenge?
