Yeovil Town make the long trip to Millmoor
Vital Quotes:
Millers manager Alan Knill had this to say about the visit of Yeovil….
“We’ve done well so far this season but we know that, given our position with the 10-point penalty deduction, that any poor run could see us back in trouble.
“We need to be consistent and that means winning our home games and picking up points away as well.
“Yeovil is an opportunity for us to get another three points under our belts and move another step away from the bottom.”
Rotherham United Team News:
Will Hoskins missed training during the week with a virus, but he should get the all clear for Saturday.
Lee Williamson is still a long term casualty.
Whilst, Michael Keane (Hamstring) and Colin Murdock are Doubtful.
Player to watch: Gregor Robertson
After a lengthy spell out injured, Scottish under 21 star Gregor Robertson will be out to make the Left Back place his own again, and recapture his excellent early season form, which made him one of the season’s most improved players.
Yeovil Town Team News:
Terry Skiverton will return to the side after missing last week due to discomfort in the tendon of the ankle.
Paul Terry went over on his ankle in training early this week, but should be fit to play at Millmoor.
Good news from Lilleshall, is that defender Andy Lindegaard, out of action since August is making good progress with his treatment.
Player to watch: Terry Skiverton
Highly rated defender Skiverton is one of the main reasons behind Yeovil’s superb defensive record this season.
Only 16 goals have been leaked through a very tight rear guard.
