Another big game for us down at NYS Tuesday, 23rd January 2018. We need to keep up the momentum if we wish to move forwards and secure a play off spot. We will certainly have our work cut out for us as the Bantams have some quality wide players plus a decent forward in Charlie Wyke.
Tyrell Robinson, aged 20, shirt number 35, a lightning quick left sided player, who is comfortable playing either as a full back or winger. Robinson spent most of his young career at Arsenal having come through the Gunners' Hale End Academy.
Charlie Wyke, aged 25, shirt number 9, forward, a Middlesbrough academy graduate.
Alex Gilliead, aged 21, shirt number 17, a wide midfield player currently on loan to the Bantams from Newcastle United.
We need to contain the above three Bantam players to have any hope of securing a result.
Warne needs to choose his starting eleven very carefully. We have some quality players who are now playing as a team. It will be tough but yet again I'm going for a Millers' victory, 3-1.
Just been on one of the Bradford fans' forums. A lot of their supporters aren't very happy with the current owners and the direction of the club. Seems like they'll only be bringing about a thousand followers down to NYS tonight.

Seems a bit Harsh, they were doing really well until the recent blip. They get fantastic home support, although it's only about 50p to get in... They area (or could be) a big club , I don't know what they are moaning about.
Having said all that - Our confidence is sky high, so I fancy us to go for the kill.. so 4-1 Millers for me :)
(although it would be no shock if it were the other way around)
Anything can happen but it depends which team turns up and applies the pressure tonight. According to some Bradford supporters their players allegedly rolled over and had their tummies tickled down at Bristol Rovers last weekend.
They score lots of goals and let plenty in. That sounds like us, although recently we have been better at winning by the odd goal in tight games. Their away record is good, but their recent form is poor. We are strong at home.
Our central midfield worries me. Towell doesn't look as good when he has to be disciplined and sit in, and Vaulks is doing a decent job but isn't a creative influence. Vincelot for them is a good player in there. They also have quick wide men so we might find out whether Emmanuel and Mattock really have improved (to be fair to them they have both been good lately).
I haven't really got a clue what might happen, but I'll have a stab at 2-1 to us for no particular reason.
Final score 2-0 to the Millers. The attacking threat from Bradford dwindled into insignificance. The Three Amigos for Bradford, Tyrell Robinson, Charlie Wyke and Alex Gilliead never really threatened our defence. They had their tummies well and truly tickled.
