ROTHERHAM United manager Ronnie Moore is set to ring the changes for tomorrow's derby clash against Bradford City in the wake of the FA Cup capitulation at Luton.

 

Disappointed by the below-par performance at Kenilworth Road, Moore will bring in four new faces and also make positional changes in a bid to re-inject life into his side after a run of four games without a win.

The manager was particularly scathing of his side's defending on Tuesday and is considering recalling Pablo Mills  for the suspended Nick Fenton at centre-half and re-introducing Jamie Green at left-back.

Adam Rundle will return to the midfield after being cup tied in midweek while Drewe Broughton starts up front.

Moore said: "A lot of people let a lot of people down the other night. The 3-0 scoreline looks like we got battered but we did have chances. The problem was that we didn't defend tight enough and their wide men gave our full-backs (Mark Lynch and Stephen Brogan) a bad time.

"We travel thousands of miles scouting other teams and come back and tell our players where the opposition's weaknesses are but then we go and let their two wingers cut inside to score on their favoured right foot. That's frustrating.

"I had the players in for extra training on Wednesday and we've worked on the back four. We have to defend better."

Moore added "There's no panic and no despondency. We're third in the league with everything to play for and we've a great chance of automatic promotion."

Kick-off tomorrow is 3pm.
