Footymad preview History of the Cheltenham Town v Rotherham United fixture

The Millers face a trip to Cheltenham Town for a promotion clash at Whaddon Road tomorrow, hoping to improve upon an average previous return from this fixture. Of the five games played, The Millers have recorded just one win.

The most recent encounter between these two sides at Whaddon Road was just last season in December 2011, the Robins carving out a narrow 1-0 victory in a League Two match.

Team News

Home boss Mark Yates has no fresh injury concerns but will be without Jason Taylor as part of the agreement between himself and Steve Evans over Taylor's transfer from Rotherham back in January.

Millers boss Evans is without Kari Arnason who completes a two game suspension. Daniel Kearns could be recalled to the starting 11 after returning to fitness.

The only other selection headache for Evans is including either Dale Tonge or Craig Morgan in the backline to replace Mark Bradley, who misses the rest of the season.
