Head2Head & Team News- Darlington (H)

Mark Robins is sweating over the fitness of in form defender Ian Sharps and winger Peter Holmes, two pivotal players in the Millers unbeaten start to League Two so far this season.

Sharps is rated as 50/50 for the game but hadn't trained up until yesterday after coming off with a hamstring strain in Tuesday's win at Mansfield in the JP Trophy.

Holmes missed the same encounter with a knock on the ankle but should hopefully be ok to take his place wide on the left. Other than that Robins only has long term absentee Mark Hudson missing. Tom Cahill isn't expected to feature again despite playing for the reserves in midweek as they drew 1-1 with Sheffield United.

Our visitors arrive with major doubts over former Barnsley full back Neil Austin, Clark Keltie and ex Millers loanee Scott Wiseman.

Austin is the likely of the three to play any part in the game but his troublesome ankle looks set to keep him sidelined.

The Quakers are still without centre back Patrick Collins, once on trial at Millmoor, and striker Martin Smith who has a knee problem.

You would feel something has to give tomorrow as both sides carry unbeaten league records into the clash and could swap places in the table if the Millers come out on top.

Quakers one to watch: Tommy Wright

The forward was all set to sign for Rotherham towards the end of last season, but opted out of signing a deal at the eleventh hour. What's betting he comes back to haunt to Millers tomorrow. They also boast a strong goalscoring line up with ex Huddersfield man Pawel Abbott in their ranks.

Last time out - 0-0 with Macclesfield Town:

Stockdale, Purdie, White, Foster, Ryan, Joachim, Ravenhill, Cummins, Palmer (McBride 58), Abbott (Blundell 67), Wright (Harty 67).
Subs Not Used: Oakes, Miller.

A reminder that the game is a 1pm kick off due to England's international with Israel at Wembley - The JP trophy round two draw is on tomorrow morning's Soccer AM show on Sky Sports.
