Looking forward to it.
Like a home game for me and my company is sponsoring the match ball, so nice meal before hand and then pop round the back to sit with the SBA.

Bring it on !!
Will be in the 1915 Pub, about 4 min walk from the ground from noon, if anybody fancies a pint.

Rotherhams home form is poor. Only 1 win and that was a thrashing of Bolton.
We really should be taking all 3 points here.

Having expected Portsmouth to be a defeat away, and been, in the most ridiculous fashion, pleasantly surprised, this game is the next one I see us probably losing. All other games I thought we would get at least a point, and we could here, but suspect a narrow defeat. If we do get something I would like it to be because we still have 11 players on the pitch.
1-0 defeat 60%, 1-1 25% 0-1 win 15%

Robins rarely does changes other than those forced on him by injury/suspension. Or to put it another way, he values continuity. I expect that to apply even if Kelly is fit, and also that calls to move O'Hare forward at Hiwula's expense will not be heeded. In the latter case, as happened a number of times last season, the fans are I suspect, ahead of the manager. Maybe Kastenaar for Jobello, if reports on the Donny game are accurate.

But this place was pretty positive about the performance against Donny (I couldn't go, was in France), so why change?

I agree. Continuity is key. The more our first 11 play together the better they become as a team. If we are unbeaten don't change it.

Play in the manner we did Saturday and we have every chance of winning for the first time away this season. Rotherham like Doncaster a decent team and will be in the playoff mix at the end of the season but we have nothing to fear as long as the team remain positive.

Need an away win sooner rather than later really. Not massively hopeful it’ll be this game mind.

Classy, attractive football is very nice and breeds positivity, but we need to be putting an end product on it more often now if we want to be in the top three. Kastaneer looked a lot fitter on Saturday, amazing how a guy built like a tank can have such a turn of speed. Would swap him in for Jobello as his delivery from out wide isnt always the ball that's needed. I feel that Kasta will bring a similar style to Jobello but with more to offer in terms of cutting inside, taking on defenders, penetrating runs and a combination of crosses/whipped low balls which I think the likes of Godden and O'Hare will thrive off. Hiwula is on thin ice, not been upto scratch in terms of his composure and finishing which is frustrating because his movement is arguably the best in the team every week.
Every week I worry that O'Hare will burn himself out at some point but the lad has an abundance of heart and stamina. For me:

Marosi

Dabo
McFadzean (who needs to play simpler football at times)
Hyam
Mason

Shipley (his vision is impeccable and his execution of the killer pass is improving)
Walsh (again simple football and decisiveness in his passing needed)
O'Hare

Hiwula
Godden
Kastaneer

I'm assuming none of those injured will be fit to return.

I'd bring in Kasta for Jobello for this, but I'd also be keeping a close eye on how Hiwula gets on and if he's not on his game I'd consider bringing Werstbrooke on and moving O'Hare into his position. I'm also toying with the idea of having Rose come in for Fadz but I'll leave it for now.

Would obviously love a win and we're capable of that but as long as we remain unbeaten I think I'd take that (unless they get a late equaliser or come for 2 or more down)

_________Marosi

Kelly will not be fit for this Saturday
He will play at least one U23 game first
I heard he was at least two weeks away from last Friday

Wouldn't be against playing Westbroke for Ohare here and introducing Ohare after an hour

That would be a waste of his talent !
