Head2Head & Team News - Luton Town (H)

Last updated : 20 September 2008 By Deano
Crunch game? You'd probably say so after the Millers solitary point picked up from the past two weeks of League Two action.

Having changed a winning formula from the opening month, boss Mark Robins has come under a touch of criticism from some quarters at Don Valley, as the Hatters roll into town with ex-Millers boss Mick Harford looking to turn around their massive points defecit.

With both clubs deducted points for irregularities that I'm sure we all know about by now, Town's seemingly impossible task of overhauling their 30 point hit and avoiding relegation out of the football league has seen them pick up three crucial wins so far, much like the Millers who, granted, started 13 points better off.

Robins has today hinted at team changes, the main call is that Alex Rhodes be reinstated to a team that didn't get out of third gear for the first 70 minutes of last week's game against Rochdale, although the gaffer won't reveal his hand until match day. If MAD HQ has it on the nail though, we expect Drewe Broughton to come in to start in place of Ryan Taylor with new Spanish signing Omar Garcia set to start as a substitute.

Robins told the Advertiser: "We have to make sure we are mentally right for every game otherwise you can come unstuck, like we did last Saturday. I'm considering changes but I won't reveal them. We'll have to wait and see what happens."

Luton come into the game after securing the services of Leicester youngster Harry Worley on a months loan, and he's set to start.

Defender George Pilkington is struggling to be fit after limping off against Aldershiot last weekend, but skipper Kevin Nicholls returns to the team after being passed fit.

Here's the head to head:
