Crewe head2head & early team news

Out

Paul McLaren is definately out after missing training today, he pulled up during the game against Wigan with a thigh strain and is now out of the game this weekend. Another player who is doubtful is central defender and top scorer Martin McIntosh who pulled out of todays training.

Swaz also missed the training through illness, however he is expected to be available, Darren Garner is should also be fit enough to play after picking up a knock last saturday.

There is no news on any loan signings being made before the game, although the clubs official site mentioned that boss Ronnie Moore has stepped up his search for a new player! But Ronnie told the website that he will no longer be mentioning any names, ""Every time I mention a name something seems to happen that sees the deal fall through so I am going to stop naming players we are interested in bringing to Millmoor."

Crewe have just sold thier top scorer Dean Ashton to Premiership strugglers

Keeping gob shut.

Norwich for £3million, and Steve Foster is unlikely to figure against the Millers because of an ankle injury, but Crewe could have Anthony Tonkin and Billy Jones available after overcoming injuries.

The Railwaymen have lost thier last 3 games, and not won since new years day when they won at Leeds 2-0, but we have not been them for 9 years!

Millers fans will be able to pay on the day for the game, but must buy tickets at the Crewe ticket office, £17 for adults, £14 for seniors and Kids at a fiver.
