Rotherham United Preview

Wanderers travel to South Yorkshire to take on Rotherham United in search of back to back wins after last weekend's success over Exeter City.

Aaron Morley grabbed a late winner on his return to the side, after spending the first half of the season on loan, to give the Whites a 2-1 win over the Grecians.

Manager Quotes

Ian Evatt: "For me it's about continuing those performances and making them better because if you play well you've got a really good chance of winning and that has to be our aim on Saturday.

"There's half a season left and that's a long time in football, this half hasn't gone to plan but by no means are we out of it or out of anything, we've got to make sure we have a really strong second half of the season."

Centre half Jamie McCart left Rotherham in early January to join Scottish outfit Hearts after making 21 appearances for the Millers in all competitions this season.

The transfer was originally a pre-contract agreement ahead of the 27-year-old's contract expiring in the Summer but that has now been sped up with the Scotsman joining Hearts immediately on a four-and-a-half year deal. 

Form Guide

Wanderers stay in 10th despite their win last weekend in Devon, sitting four points behind Reading in the final play-off spot with a game in hand.

The Whites are unbeaten in three of their last four away games but the focus will be on making it consecutive away victories for Ian Evatt's side.
