Vital Quotes:
Keith Alexander – Rotherham will be there or there abouts in May and the game tomorrow will complete a tough month for us. Rotherham have a bigger squad than us but I think we can go out there and compete with the likes of Rotherham
Mark Robins – Macclesfield are a decent side and they’ll be up for this one
Macclesfield Team News:
Macclesfield have just signed Ricky Sappleton on loan until the end of the year from Leicester and he is expected to be in the squad. Long term injury victims, Shaun Hessey and Nat Brown aren`t fit enough to be considered.

Rotherham Team News:
The Millers have doubts about a few players – Ian Sharps who has been out for a couple of games with a back problem, Paul Warne and Adam Le Fondre didn’t make the game at West Brom while Nick Fenton, Pablo Mills and Andy Liddell all got knocks in the mid-week game. Drewe Broughton is definitely out with a broken toe
