Steve Thornber’s first game in charge as caretaker manager for Rotherham is against Morecambe at Don Valley tomorrow afternoon and he says he is enjoying it so far. He also says training has been positive and the players have done well. The Millers will be looking for another win tomorrow to keep them at the top of League Two.
Morecambe haven’t faired as well as the Millers so far and lie third bottom in the league, not having won a game yet this season.
Vital Quotes:
John Thornber – Morecambe are a good side. Any side that can go three-nil up against Rochdale can cause problems. But, of course, any side that can let a three goal lead slip have their weaknesses
Sammy McIlroy – Rotherham are going well at the moment and will be confident but I know we have a side that can match them all the way
