To set the mood:
Head to head stats are favourable but I'm not sure that counts for much right now.
Last time out we managed a 1-1 draw courtesy of a Rotherham og in the 90th minute.
As we're both firmly planted in the bottom half of the table, that's all I've copied:
First bit of good news is that we could still leap-frog Derby if we win and they don't or they get beaten a gazillion to nil. Unfortunately, all the teams around us seem to be picking up wins with the exception of Blackburn. With a bit of luck their freefall will continue but I'm not fond of relying on other teams to cock up.
The Millers are still managed by Paul Warne who has been in situ since 2016.
They come into this match having lost 3-0 at home to bottom-placed Wycombe on Monday. We may have lost 7-0 yesterday but at least it was away from home and to Norwich at the top.
Who's scoring for 'em?
Ben Wiles is still in the squad who scored against us last time.
Their Starting XI v Wycombe was:-
No 21 is Angus MacDonald who scored the og last time. Not to be confused with no 4 Shaun MacDonald who was one of the subs:
The second piece of good news is that Saturday will feel cold and Carlos & co may freeze their knackers off:
How bad do our performances need to get before the pundits stop linking Carlos to Bielsa?
A penny for 'em?
To set a more upbeat mood (unless you don't like swing or rock 'n' roll), Jive Bunny and the Mastermixers come from Rotherham. Never seen a white rabbit at the match, though. Then again I'm not James Stewart and Jive Bunny isn't called Harvey. (You'll have to look it up, jj, that reference comes from the days of black and white films - sorry!)
