MillerMad Preview And Team News - Bristol City (A)
Last updated : 27 December 2005 By Deano
After picking up three points last time out at Bradford and being robbed of the three points in cruel fashion yesterday, caretaker boss Alan Knill will be looking to build on two positive performances.
City will be undoubtedly looking to make use of home advantage but have only won two of their last six on their own turf, whilst they picked up a point after conceding a late goal at Priestfield yesterday against Gillingham. Winger Scott Murray, in his second spell with the club, bagged the opener in that game and will be one the Rotherham defence should keep a close eye on.
Steve Phillips is set to continue in goal for the Robins after he replaced Adriano Basso who suffered a dislocated finger on Boxing Day. Other than that manager Gary Johnson may continue with one time Millers target Bradley Orr in midfield, who set up Murray's strike.
It's expected The Millers will travel down with the same squad, hoping 14 goal Deon Burton will be fit to start after he was brought off with what appeared to be a shoulder injury against Huddersfield. Will Hoskins is eagerly waiting to step up should any problem arrise. Some confusion also surrounds full back David Worrell, who has now picked up five bookings. However, his suspension is generated over a certain time period and with two games in just three days he may well be available for tomorrow and have to sit out the New Year's Eve clash with Donny Rovers.
MillersMad prediction: 1-2
