Millers target top three

ROTHERHAM United can climb back into the automatic promotion frame in League Two with victory at Bristol Rovers tonight

The match pits two in-form sides against each other, with the Millers having won three out of the last four and Rovers now seven points clear of the drop zone after taking 15 points from the last 18 on offer under new boss John Ward.

Rovers won 3-1 at the New York Stadium only last month and manager Steve Evans knows that his side will have to play well to even the score.

He said: "Statistics can often be misleading but one fact I know is that since the start of 2013 Bristol Rovers are the best team in League Two. That really does not surprise me; they have some top class players for our level and now have the enthusiasm of a new manager in John Ward.

"Rovers have a set system of play under John and it is proving to be very effective, the run of results they have had is staggering. Our task is very tough but we all know that."

Kick-off at the Memorial Stadium is at 7.45pm.
