Nottm Forest - MillersMAD Preview & Head2Head

Last updated : 17 November 2006 By Bigrich.....

The Millers go into the game against top of the league Nottingham Forest on the back of a game 5 unbeaten run in the league, but last weeks defeat to League 2 team Peterborough will hopefully a reminder that no effort brings no rewards.

Forest have led League 1 since September and dont look like surrendering top spot, they currently have a 7 point lead over second placed Yeovil Town.

The Millers have a few injury problems, with midfield Alan Knill's main concern with Lee Williamson (Fractured Toe) and Michael Keane (Hamstring) both face a spell out. Martin Woods came off during the midweek reserve game with an ice-pack. Justin Cochrane is expected to line up against Forest with Stephen Brogan also in line for at least a seat on the bench depending on Woods.

At the back Colin Murdock will also sit out after picking up a strain at Peterborough so Ian Sharps will come back into the team. One bit of good news for Knilly is that Gregor Robertson is back available after coming through the reserve game without feeling any reaction to the knee injury that kept him out for nearly 6 weeks.

Forest have defender James Perch back after serving a one-match ban. Colin Calderwood has healthy competition for places in midfield with Gary Holt coming back from injury.

Striker Nathan Tyson is also in contention to play after coming through a reserve game this week in which Grant Holt scored to put his claim for a first

team start.

Both teams will be facing an old player, lining up against thier former teams are Eugene Bopp who joined the Millers after being released by Forest in the summer, while Forest captain is former Millers defender Ian Breckin.

The game is all ticket and there will be no pay on the day facilities.
