Millers skipper confident for play-offs

The 0-0 draw against Crewe at Don Valley was enough to guarantee that the Millers will finish no lower than fifth, giving them home advantage in the second-leg of the play-off semi-finals.

Rotherham will not know their opponents until after this weekend's final round of games but Sharps says that whoever it is, the team has the defensive base to battle through to the final at Wembley.

Sharps said: "The clean sheets could be something to do with the fact that we've been able to field the same back four and goalkeeper for a while and there's no doubt we are happy with how we are playing defence wise.

"Crewe are a decent side going forward. They have good players and they were a handful so, as defenders, we were made up to do well against them."

The Millers finish the regular season at Hereford on Saturday and Sharps added:

"We can't go to Hereford and say, if we win we're going to get them and if we lose we're going to get them. We'll just take who we get."

Manager Ronnie Moore will rest leading Adam Le Fondre and, possibly, goalkeeper Andy Warrington for Saturday to avoid injury ahead of the play-offs.

Moore's main worries remain the lack of goals.

The Millers have scored only three times in the last eight games.
