Millers braced for tough test

ROTHERHAM United lock horns with local rivals Chesterfield at Saltergate tonight with Millers chief Ronnie Moore warning: "It will be tough."

The Millers put a shock home defeat to Darlington behind them by beating Grimsby Town 2-1 at Don Valley on Saturday.

There's the carrot of a place back in the automatic promotion places in League Two should Moore's men take three points tonight but the promotion-chasing Spireites are expected to provide much stiffer opposition on a ground in which Rotherham have bagged very few wins in the past.

Said Moore: "This match will be tough. There's no doubt about that.

"But I think these types of games we're not bad at. It lifts the players a bit."

Moore will have centre-half Nick Fenton back available after suspension and may also include new loan signings Marcus Marshall and Gavin Gunning in his squad.

The pair from Blackburn Rovers were both involved on Saturday.

Kick-off tonight is 7.45pm.
