Let's talk about the Rotherham United game

[Sammy Chung was King]

My money is on us at that price, they’ve priced it up as though we’ve signed no new players. Though Rotherham form wise should win, we have added some quality to our squad.

[Chris Black come back]

Paul Warne was moaning about this on Football Heaven at the weekend - them never winning at our place. I looked in to this and he is not far wrong. They haven't won a league game at Rovers since December 1997. Given this was in 97/98 it doesn't really count. Since then it has been W2 and D1 for Rovers at home in league games v Rotherham. Rotherham scored in each of those three league games.

[DonnyBazR0ver]

I'm sure Rotherham will do what they do and will be taking every opportunity to get set piece situations, going down easily whilst getting away with murder themselves, using every trick in the book to stop us.

We know we're likely to be bombarded for periods of the game so we're going to have to be really disciplined to hold firm and catch them on the break when possible. We also must be smart in stretching their defence into mistakes.

We can rattle them, and as long as we can keep the crowd involved and baying for blood, it's anyones. Give them too much time it's likely we'll pay the price.

I'm going for an exciting 2-2.

[ColinDouglasHandshake]

The only point we've gained this season coming from behind was the 1-1 draw at Crewe. We also have a habit of taking the lead and then not winning. MK away a welcome break from that. Difficult night ahead. 

[selby]

  They score goals we find it hard to do so, we concede goals they don't very often, 4-1 to the Rovers, it's got to change.

[Chris Black come back]

They’ve conceded 5 goals away from home all season. Scoring 4 tomorrow night would be something of a shock, not least to them.

[selby]

Or me.

[les@donr]

We have nothing to lose, no one gives us a prayer, so let's enjoy  the game and we might end up winning the game.

What about Cambridge at home?

[sha66y]

Looks Bleak, but strange things can and have happened n this league!

1-2 after going ahead…..

Yeah. Forgot about that. Semantics though. 

Is the M18 closed still or is that just at weekends anyone know?

[Reesielad]

It’s open.

[Metalmicky]

I see we are expecting 3200 Rovrum fans tonight - let's hope we can send them home disappointed...

[ColinDouglasHandshake]

So that means they would take the end of the East Stand, like Sunderland did?

Hoping for a competitive game, unlike Sunderland and the atmosphere to be like it was against Sunderland but from the home ends too this time.

Wimbledon are at home in a winnable game against Cheltenham too. Really need to beat Rotherham regardless of what Wimbledon do though.

[Colin C No.3]

How long into the game before we hear the chant from opposing fans, “Going down, going down……” followed hard on the heels by “Your support is f*****g s**t!”?

Wouldn’t it be ‘sweet’ to nick it in injury time.

[ColinDouglasHandshake]

Let's hope the referee tonight is safe from missile throwing Millers fans. The ref didn't get so lucky at Crewe.

[Colemans Left Hook]

think Rovers should play this when we come out

Think it was the linesman that got hit, not the ref.

Sounded like 2 games running listening to Warnes interview

[big fat yorkshire pudding]

In the away game there we had a lot of possession even before the red card and had Matt Smith up front, yet we had a lot of the ball.  We have every chance of winning the game tonight as we now have much better forward options, granted they are still getting going in the team.  It's a tough game but not as easy for them as some would think.  We have shown real signs of progress.  At some point it will click properly and we'll score a load of goals and beat someone.

[roversdude]

BFYP hopefully that’s tonight, got to have a pre match meal with som Rotherham fans and they are full of it

[BigH]

Attacking options are improving and we are no longer toothless up front.

But we still can't defend.

Unless and until that changes we'll concede at least two a game. Can see us losing 1-3 again.

[ColinDouglasHandshake]

I'll go for a 2-2 draw. I think we'll start well and shock everyone by going 2 up but then mistakes, inexperience and fatigue will see us draw and be lucky to get that.

Also, when are we going to get a bloody penalty this season at home?!

Tonight's the night.

[sha66y]

I think the trick is to get to half time at 0-0, will give the defence a bit of a boost and confidence could grow…

[Upton Rover]

3-1 Rover’s

[ColinDouglasHandshake]

Ok. Setting off now from the midlands to battle the lovely M1 and ironically have to go via Rotherham to pick up my fellow DRFC chums and onto the ground.

Bloody best win tonight lads!! COME ON!!!

Safe trip pal

[karlos]

No Galbraith in the starting 11 tonight

[Colemans Left Hook]

No Galbraith in the starting 11 tonight

and Woods is NOT starting presumably  because they are afraid of us getting a breakaway goal(s)

[welloffside]

This is quickly becoming a GM team, and I approve!!
