Like many older fans,this fixture brings back memories good and bad from the past,and an admiration for Ronnie Moore as a manager in the lower leagues. Both teams in the recent past have had massive highs, matched with calamitous lows,and are both now trying to steady the ship and get ahead once more.The supporters of both sides having bumpy rides in the last three seasons after an upsurge when moving to two new stadiums,which are two of the best built by clubs of our size. A lot depends on this game,local bragging rights,can Rotherham improve their away form?can the Rovers carry on their improvement in form?What formations do we think will be employed by the teams?who are the players to watch out for in the oposition? A lot to think about guys and girls,hence the early post,if any Rotherham fans would like to join in please do,keep it clean and about the subject,just friendly banter.

Local bragging rites? Do many Rovers fans really know Rotherham fans? It's not like it's the same town a la United/City United/Wednesday.To me, it's just another game worth three points. And they are three points we need. We can't really afford another defeat like the Walsall one, or another performance like that.Having said that, 1-0 to us will do anyway it comes 😄
The significant change for me is the switch from two out and out strikers to one. At Northampton, where we started with a 3-5-2, we were all over the place in the first half. However with the 3-4-2-1 we seem more compact and confident. Also in Beestin and Mandeville we seem to have players who could play in the two behind the striker.Just need to sort out the right hand side. Hopefully Wright will be back with Blair playing on the right of midfield. No doubt Whiteman will replace Kongolo, who is on international duty.
Looking forward to this. Recently moved to Rotherham and a gaffer at my place is a big Millers fan so I don't particularly fancy coming into a load of jibes Monday morning.1-1 draw. Rowe for us.
Chap at work reckons Jerry Yates has a good chance of starting.
