Rotherham will have been working on the same. At home this season we've scored 9 goals in 8 games - 3 from penalties, 2 from corners and only 4 from open play. 

Today will be the Battle of Little Bighoof. We will emerge victorious by a single goal. 

Bighoof indeed lol

Ah I think we are going to try and play today. Show what we can do. Show how far we have come. 

That will be met with resolute defending more than likely and after half time it will be Graham and Brereton up top with clear instructions to "get it into the box son" 

Early goal crucial here. If we score in the first 20 min, it could be a straight forward afternoon. 

Knowing Rovers though...

Got a good feeling about this one. Anxiously waiting for the lineups though. Today is the day Brereton comes to life and begins to justify the price tag. 

[Bigdoggsteel]

Rodwell starts at centre half, Williams and Mulgrew out. 

Reed in the middle, which is good.

Palmer starts too. 

I would liked to have seen Brereton and Rothwell start, but still a strong line up. 

I think Rodwells ball playing ability from center half may prove useful today 

[millersfan]

Well the teams are out, pretty much how I thought Rotherham would set up. 4-1-4-1 with the 2 wide players pushing up to support. 

Looking forward to a good game! 

[Fraserkirky]

Can’t complain with the team but really want to see Brereton get a start but Danny is more physical. 

Reed man of the match, calling it now.

Just paid 25 quid sit in bburn end because all week I have been on the e-ticketing and they are supposedly sending me an email to change my password. Everyday I have been on for 7 days and still no email. It's bad enough having to pay it. When it's their fault it's even worse. I did the same against millwall. 

Anyone else had this problem.

Anyway I've had me moan COYB ?

[Ewood Ace]

Full Backs the only worry in that line up, why now he's fit is Nyambe not starting? As for Bell he's not impressed me one bit this since joining, with Williams out I'd like to have seen Travis given a go at left back.

Could you not just have rung up and bought over the phone? Doesn’t solve the e-ticketing issue but at least it’s 3 quid in your pocket today.

 No I gave up my phone years ago. I just have a tablet to go on here and watts app the wife. Life's better without it

Sounds great!

its interesting to note, Bennett, Lenihan and Rodwell were all midfielders at one stage of their careers.

Worryingly, 2 of them still are

I think Bennet still is! 

Ya, it's interesting alright. A bit worrying. Even if Mulgrew was there in place of Rodwell, it would be the same situation.

We don’t really have anyone that stands out, that’s been our strength. Williams is our most creative outlet.

[DE.]

Was hoping Brereton would be given a chance to impress from the start today, whether that be up front or out wide. Seems like a good game to give him a shot.

Is that a strength?

Thought the same. Hopefully he gets brought on upfront at half time. Best we can hope for now. 

[Tom]

I like that team although would have loved to see Big Ben get a go

[Butty]

Good team! I imagine Nyambe will come on for Smallwood and swap positions with Benno to ease him back into things. Expect that side to get the job done today. You blues.

[Doaksie]

Rovers are like going to a brothel, and realising you have forgot your wallet. We always miss out on the sure things.

Hoping for a full intensity showing today, and we should get the job done.

[AdamRochina]

uneasy about the game, as its the type we dont turn up in sometimes,  but given the line up and what we have on the bench im sure we can grab the win

I’ve said it before, either start him upfront or don’t start him so hopefully he comes on today upfront NOT OUT WIDE and bags that all important first goal. 

[philipl]

Ewood looking empty on ifollow.

[AdamRochina]

i think the subs today bar any injurys or forced formation changes are pretty much predictable? rothwel on for palmer? graham off for brereton and nymabe for smallwood and move bennet in centre?
