MANAGER Matt Taylor has hinted he could make changes to his side as Rotherham United go in search of their first away points of the season, at Millwall tomorrow tonight.

The Millers' first three Championship matches on their travels have all ended in defeat and the boss is considering shaking things up following a 2-0 loss in Saturday's Yorkshire derby at Huddersfield Town.

“We might have to tweak a few things in terms of how we approach the game and get certain areas of strength on to the pitch, certain areas I can really trust,” he said. “We need to improve our collective performance.

“We have got to get the bodies right. If we thought Huddersfield were physical at times, we can guarantee Millwall will be looking to be the same.”

Rotherham's task has been made even harder as the Lions will be determined to respond to Sunday's 3-0 reverse on their own soil at the hands of Leeds United.

“It's a difficult place to go to,” Taylor said. “We need to be tough and resolute and we also need to use the ball.

“Millwall are one of the strongest teams at home in the division and they'll be smarting on the back of their recent defeat.”

The Millers are set to be without playmaker Cafu, who has a groin niggle, while midfielder Jamie Lindsay (achilles) centre-halves Grant Hall (hamstring) and Sean Morrison (calf) and winger Shane Ferguson (groin) all remain in the treatment room.

Right-back Lee Peltier was due to rejoin the main group this week following a calf issue and has an outside chance of making the squad.Rotherham are monitoring Cohen Bramall who jarred his knee in the build-up to Huddersfield's opening goal when he stepped on the ball.

He was lying on the turf awaiting treatment when Josh Koroma put the Terriers ahead.

The left-back managed to finish the game but has suffered since.

“He has had problems with a lot of swelling,” Taylor said. “He has had a scan and it is all clear so it is just whether the bruising will subside enough for him to start.”

Before tonight's six second-tier fixtures, the Millers were in 21st place while Millwall were 18th.
