Millers to make changes for derby

ROTHERHAM United will be forced into at least one change for tonight's Yorkshire derby at Bradford City.

Winger Omar Daley will not play as part of his loan deal from Valley Parade—a ruling which also applies to Kevin Ellison, who is on loan with the Bantams from the Millers.

Callum Kennedy will come in at left-back if the club’s appeal against Tom Newey’s red card against Barnet on Saturday fails.

Rotherham will go in as favourites against a Bradford side struggling at the wrong end of League Two and now under the temporary control of the experienced Peter Jackson following the departure of Peter Taylor.

Millers chief Ronnie Moore is considering other changes having seen his side draw their last two games. Victory would take them back into the automatic promotion frame providing Wycombe fail to win at Barnet.

Moore said: "I would imagine there will be one or two changes. There's some things I've got to look at to freshen things up.

"I've locked horns against Jacko many times and he's a decent guy.

"We'll get a welcome that's for sure and he'll have them fired up.

"It's a derby game and there will be 11,000 or so there and it will be a great atmosphere. We won there last year so we are looking forward to it. We just have to take

the chances when they come."
