Rotherham Preview

The Clarets can secure first division next season if we avoid defeat at Millmoor tomorrow. A draw may not be needed though if results elsewhere go our way.

The maths are simple a draw or better tomorrow will mean us staying in the division for a further season. If we are beaten tomorrow then we will still be safe if Walsall fail to win at Crystal Palace or Derby lose against Milwall.

Our last two visits to Rotherham have seen us get draws in both games, Gareth Taylor scored from the penalty spot in our 1-1 draw two years ago whilst he was involved in a rather strange incident last season when he was booked in the opening for few seconds for getting knocked out by an elbow.

Neil Wood's loan spell has now expired so he's gone back to Manchester United which leaves a gap on the bench from the squad that beat Derby last week. Other than this change we don't forsee any other changes and Stan is likely to go with the same players who did so well against the Rams.
