Head2Head & Team News - Darlington (H)

The Millers go into tonight's game against sixth placed Darlington aiming to make it three wns on the spin and make further ground in League Two after moving above Grimsby over the weekend.

The game marks the start of two vital league games, with leaders Wycombe the visitors to DVS this Saturday as the Millers look to avoid a repeat of their last home game when Barnet stuck four past Andy Warrington.

The Quakers have won three out of the last four and arrive on the back of a 3-0 win over Dagenham, with dangerman Liam Hatch in fine form.

Rotherham boss Mark Robins is missing Ian Sharps (right) who's red card at Macclesfield means he serves a one game ban, Reuben Reid could return after a stomach bug kept him out of the same game.

Marc Joseph will come into the side and Robins may also look to rotate his midfield men after a sluggish second half display at Moss Rose.

Robins explained: "We've had two great results away from home but the next two games will be a real test against sides at the top. We start with Darlington on Tuesday and then Wycombe on Saturday but we are confident in our ability.

"We've started our climb up the table which is great but we have to keep our focus and continue picking up as many points as we can."

Darlo boss Dave Penney is just missing Tim Ryan, who serves his final game of a three match ban. Striker Pawel Abbott is a long term injury victim and not expected back until early next year.
