Problems for Millers before potential Banana skin.

In the first ever meeting between the two sides Ronnie has a major headache with several players out injured or down with illness.

Up front, Loanee Junior has gone back to Derby County, and he will not be returning as the Brazilian would'nt be available for some of the games, making the deal not the best value for money. However Ronnie & John are looking at a player however he won't be joining us in time for the game.

Will Hoskins who has been making a few appearances as sub over the last few weeks has come down with a virus and is very doubtful, so the front pairing is looking like been Martin Butler who has scored in the last 2 games and Michael Proctor who played in the reserves 2-0 loss at Stoke yesterday.

Midfield is a major problem, Paul McLaren is suffering with the same virus as Hoskins. John Mullin is still about a month away from fitness, Darren Garner is out after a calf injury. Andy Monkhouse has recieved a knock and Ronnie has been hit with the news that Shaun Barker will face 3 weeks out with a knee ligament injury.

Out for 3 weeks.

Paul Warne has been recalled early from his loan at Mansfield Town, and could well feature in the starting 11 with Paulo Vernazza reclaiming a place in the team.

Defensively Martin McIntosh who was brought off during the win at Millwall with an hamstring problem, he has had in injection but is still doubtful for Saturdays game. Robbie Stockdale is not quite ready and the game may come too fast for him.

Yeovil are no mugs and have won their last 6 games, scoring 20 goals in the process and sit at the top of League 2, however during those games they have conceded 9, so that is something for the Millers to exploit.

Former Grimsby Town striker Phil Jevons is their top scorer with 11 goals this season so far, but goals are coming from the enitre squad which will please Glovers manager Gary Johnson who has been named as League 2 manager of the month for December.

Some of this please lads!!

Yeovil themselves have a few problems for the game. Centre-Back Colin Miles is in the middle of suspension. Defender Scott Guyett suffered a hamstring strain but Roy O'Brien from his loan spell at Weymouth as cover for him.

Left Back Micheal Rose will also be out with injury.

The Millers have only made it to the 4th round of the FA Cup once in the last 11 years, that was in the 01/02 season when we beat Southampton at home in the 3rd round then lost to Crewe 4-2 at Millmoor in the 4th round, Should the Millers win the club will recieve a much needed £40,000
