Head2Head and Early Team News- Swindon Town (h)

Last updated : 01 December 2005 By Millersmad Staff

Rotherham are waiting to see if Phil Gilchrist will recover from a toe injury that kept him out of the Walsall defeat. He may not be in the starting line up anyway as Colin Murdock is available again after his suspension has expired. Scott Minto who played in central defence in absence of the two veterans at Walsall will be hoping he is restored at left back.

It's Toe Fun


Michael Keane has stepped up his rehabilitation after his groin operation and looks on course to be ready for a first team return in time for the busy Christmas schedule and is the only man definitely ruled out.

Mick Harford must choose whether to abandon the unsuccessful 4-5-1 formation and revert to a 4-4-2 as the Millers go in search of their first win in almost three months. Will Hoskins and Marc Newsham will both be battling for a place in the front two if Harford does go with a change of shape.

Swindon are six points adrift at the bottom of the league and have yet to win away from home this season picking up just the four draws. Their new manager Iffy Onoura has big problems as he has four defenders out through suspension for this huge game. Jerel Ifil, Steve Jenkins, Sean O'Hanlon and Andy Guerney all have picked up five yellows and must sit out the trip to Millmoor.

Loanees Petr Mikoland and Aaron Brown are both expected to be in the team as the Wiltshire side look to claw themselves within two points of Rotherham and they will be relying on former youth international Rory Fallon to get the goals. Fallon, is no stranger to South Yorkshire as came through the ranks at Barnsley and scored 11 goals in 33 starts for the Tykes.
