Match Preview

Posted on: Fri 02 May 2008

Rotherham United will go into the final home game of the season against Barnet looking to end the campaign with four straight wins.

The Millers can still finish as high as ninth in the table if they can continue their winning run, but they may be without the services of Ryan Taylor. The striker was replaced in the Millers victory at Mansfield after he sustained a thigh injury and he will face a late fitness test before tomorrow's game. Goalkeeper Andy Warrington is in contention to play his 46th league game of the season, a feat that cannot be matched by any other Millers player.

Rotherham have been in good form all season at home and going into the final game they have the fifth best home record in League Two. The last time that Barnet made the visit to Millmoor was in 1999 and it was the Millers who came away with the points after a 2-0 win. The scorers on the day were Leo Fortune-West and Chris Sedgwick. Barnet have only ever won once at Millmoor and that was a 3-2 win in 1997, with the Millers goals coming from Andy Roscoe and Shaun Goodwin.

Barnet midfielder Ashley Carew is a major doubt for tomorrow's game after he sustained a thigh injury in the match against Stockport, whilst transfer listed midfielder Neal Bishop looks to have played his last game for the club.

The Bees have struggled away from home this season with only the 18th best away record in the division. They have also struggled in front of goal away from Underhill, scoring just 19 away goals all season, but they do arrive in good from with just one defeat from their last eight league games. In midfield they posses Jason Puncheon whose impressive performances this season saw him selected for the League Two team of the year.

The last time the Millers won on the final day of the regular season was back in 1997 when they beat Bristol Rovers away 2-1.
