Last updated : 15 August 2008 By Bigrich.....
The Millers got battered 5-1 last season just a week after entering administration, Tomorrow the team will be looking to give a proper account of themselves.

Boss Mark Robins is wanting to build on the confidence of the penalty win at Hillsborough on Tuesday night; "Everyone was elated with the cup win and rightly so—but now it's time to get our feet back on the ground. We need to re-focus and make sure this trip to Morecambe doesn't turn into a case of 'after the Lord Mayor's show.'" he told the 'Tiser

He went on to warn that Morecambe will themselves be looking to put in a performance themselves after a heavy defeat in midweek; "I watched Morecambe lose 4-0 in the cup at Nottingham Forest on Wednesday and we shouldn't be fooled. It will be a different game tomorrow."

"We lost 5-1 there last season and the players have got to remember how bad they felt when the came off the pitch that day. We need a good result to erase that from our memories."

Robins has a empty physio room apart from Stephen Brogan (who is back kicking a ball!!) and striker Mark Birchill who is suffering with a gladular problem.

Marc Joseph will sit out the game with his 1 game suspension after getting red carded at Hillsborough.
