Boss on Ipswich - EXCLUSIVE

Last updated : 05 April 2005 By Bigrich.....

The Millers could finally be relegated this evening after a long struggle against the drop, if results elsewhere go against them. Ipswich meanwhile are looking to get back into the top two where Wigan and Sunderland currently occupy the automatic promotion spots.

The Rotherham manager is also looking to avoid defeat from the game to boost his campaign to secure the managers job on a permanent basis. He has told clubcall that will mean a change of tactics from the win at Stoke on Saturday, but that Ipswich will be strong favourites: "We ended up sitting back on Saturday and that's not what you want to do tonight. If you do that Ipswich have got the players who can really hurt you."

Knill says despite the fact that relegation is now all but confirmed he believes more pressure is actually on the Suffolk side: "They have to win, they've got people chasing them for that third place. No-one expects us to do anything at Ipswich so hopefully we can go there and upset them."

Both teams are likely to name unchanged sides though there are still worries over the fitness of Michael Keane who has a shoulder injury.
