    Almost a history

    Rotherham and Watford have not encountered each other very often in the league, with their roads crossing only in nine seasons. Of the games in Rotherham the wins are equal with three each and three draws. The last meeting in April 2005 gave the visitors a win by 0:1. The Millers have never managed more than two goals in a match with the Hornets and have only managed to beat tuesday's visitors 2:1 twice in Rotherham and once in Watford.

    For obvious reasons, I was focussing on the first of those three goals, never even watched the others... <laugh>

    Great goal BB ;) .... and lovely to see Southall again.... and remember "I was there" for an epic win :)

    Good to see the old main stand full too!

    I never saw WFC lose a league game last season away.... so here's hoping the magic continues tomorrow.. (Thinks: Now where is Rotherham..... shall I train it or drive? ... where is the ground? what will it be like to park etc etc :) )


    Come on you Orns!

    This is Rotherham United's New York Stadium using google maps. The area looks worse than our East Stand.
    Laurence Bassini has said one lucky supporter can borrow his red hat for a large fee and the keys to the office safe.

    Just a quick one guys, obviously Hoban will be in for the suspended Ekstrand but what happens if he or the other defenders get injured during this match against Rotherham who have we got then? Doyley and Cathcart are injured, ekstrand suspended Reece Brown and Belkelem transferred!

    Tamas is already one of the three and Doherty's a full back. We'll probably have to go to 433.

    Not sure how far Doyley is from being fit again. Wasn't he close at the weekend?

    Otherwise would suggest we'd change to 4-3-3, or possibly play either Tozser or Andrews in defence and the other as the DM

    As for Ekstrand, I believe violent conduct is an automatic 3 match ban. Wonder if we will appeal...

    Straight red for violent conduct equals 3 match ban!

    Don't forget Tommie Hoban!

    Rotherham had a good but lucky win at the weekend so hopefully its run out for them.

    Sort of game we have to be winning if we want to be really considered promotion contenders as such..

    The club are not contesting the red card, but Doyley and Anya are both fit again according to the WO.
