We look forward to the U's against the Millers
We look ahead to tonight's big home match against Rotherham United.
Team News
United have no new injury or illness worries to contend with as they welcome the Millers to the Kassam Stadium (7:45pm).
After beating the leaders at Gillingham a week ago and then following that up with a win over second-placed Port Vale on Saturday, the U's are in confident mood and will be looking to avenge a 3-1 defeat at Rotherham earlier in the season where Sean Rigg scored the U's goal.
Manager Chris Wilder must decide whether to change a winning line-up, with top scorers James Constable and Tommy Craddock both on the bench for the last two games. Alfie Potter, with two goals in those two games, is in good form while Michael Raynes will be out to impress against his former club.
See Mickey Lewis, Alfie Potter and Deane Smalley previewing the game in Yellow Player.
The Opposition
Rotherham have gone five games unbeaten, but last-minute equalisers against York and Southend have kept that run going over the last two games. Johnny Mullins, who spent the earlier part of the season on loan with the U's, scored the late goal at Southend three days ago and Assistant Manager Paul Raynor believes that those last-gasp strikes show the character of the side:
“You aim to come into good form when it matters,” said Raynor. “There’s a real belief in the squad and the fact that we’ve come back late in games shows a lot of character, a lot of spirit and a lot of desire from the boys to nick valuable points.”
A win could lift the Miller back into the automatic promotion places.
“It’s a game in hand that we’ve been targeting and focusing on and if we win it there’s a great chance to be back in the top three, and that’s a great incentive,” said Raynor.
