Just having a browse of the Rotherham board and it seems they have previous with this referee, sounds a bit like our Mr Singh. The numbers speak for themselves, he gives out cards by the barrow load, so with our reputation as the hardest team since Revie's Leeds (quite where it's come from,I haven't a clue, but the fouls given against us suggest referees want to get a grip of us from the outset, perhaps AC Northampton's 14 red cards in a season and a half ought to point them in the right direction?) don't be shocked to see cards tomorrow night, left, right and centre.

Pretty much the same officials according to the FL site

Ref - T M KETTLE
Assistants - S C Knapp and A Rodda
Fourth Official - L Swabey

I'll be there as usual on the Pop, making the usual functional checks of the Pop and Boots & Laces conveniences. I might even find time to watch some of the game.

Agree. We'll find out tomorrow whether we are genuine playoff contenders. I'm expecting something similar to the game Gillingham recently gave us.

Is this a linoleum joke?

Tricky game to call. Rotherham won at Burton on Saturday, but had lost the previous 5 away games. They're in the automatic promotion places and have Le Fondre, so it'll be a very tough game. We need to bounce back from the Accrington defeat and we have to pick up regular wins if we're going to remain in the play-offs hunt, nevermind make them.

Buckle's got some tough calls to make. Robbo will have to partner Branston, meaning we need Mansell at right back and Oastler in midfield. But left back, goalkeeper, on the wings and up front are all less certain. It'll be interesting to see what he does.

COYY!

I'm unsure at the moment. I've been floating from positive to "what the hell?" throughout the season and now I find myself somewhere in the middle. Looking for that result to take me back to positive.
We can't afford to lose that's for sure.

This will be a tough game, it's not often I say we'll lose but tonight I'm going for a 2-1 defeat

Although I'd like bevan back this is the team I think will line up:

Potter
Mansell
Branston
Robertson
Nicholson
Stanley (providing his loan is extended in time/otherwise O'kane)
Zebroski
Kee
Robinson
Gilligan
Oastler

I had no idea on the importance of tonights game until I saw the other fixtures - chesterfield v Wycombe and Shrewsbury v bury. On the positive side, even if we don't win we are guaranteed not to lose ground on some clubs at least, but on the very positive side if we can pick up a win we could really close things up.

Again I would like to see Bevan recalled to the starting line up, back 4 as it was post Ellis sending off. Depending on the state of the pitch tonight there could be reason for O'kane to start, but given his lack of recent form perhaps Gilligan is worthy of a starting berth - I certainly think he has shown enough in his cameo roles so far to warrant it.

Rotherham haven't got the greatest away record, although they managed to stop the rot with a win at struggling Burton - that perhaps isn't the greatest barometer of form though. If the players can get their game going we can win this one, but I'll predict a 1-1 draw.

LOL...With another 14 games to go after tonight, its hardly the end of the world if they do turn us over is it?

As far as the team goes, I would like to see:

Potter
Mansell, Robertson, Branston, LRT,
Oastler, Stanley, Nico,
Zebs, Kee, Robinson,

but I expect Rotherham to try and own the midfield with 5 and have ALF solo up front so probably nothing like my selection TBH :-o

My dads coming down for this one so for his 250mile journey I hope we win. But I can't see it myself.

Looking forward to seeing Le Fondre play, but also looking forward to Branston owning him.

1-1 Zebs.
