Promotion chasers eyeing vital victories
Rotherham's hopes of winning an automatic promotion place need to get back on track when they travel to take on Morecambe.
United arrive at Christie Park on Saturday on the back of three successive defeats which have left them trailing third place Bournemouth by six points with as many games remaining.
Morecambe, by contrast, have started picking up victories just at the right time in their bid to earn a place in the play-offs.
The Shrimps have enjoyed three straight wins and could occupy sixth spot providing they triumph and other results go their way.
Morecambe news
:
Manager Sammy McIlroy will be able to call on Simon Hackney after the club extended his loan deal from Colchester for another month.
The winger has been a major player in Morecambe's bid for a top-seven place and the club has provision for the deal to cover the play-off fixtures if needed.
McIlroy also has Andy Parrish available for selection after the defender served his one-match ban by sitting out Monday's 3-1 win at Lincoln.
However, fellow defender Will Haining is still out with a groin problem so David Artell will be again expected to take his place.
Rotherham news
:
Millers chief Ronnie Moore could hand recalls to Drewe Broughton and Tom Pope for Saturday's trip to the North West.
The duo, who were watched by Moore in a midweek reserve game, are pressuring loan signing Craig McAllister for a place in the starting XI.
Gary Roberts definitely will not play after his contract at the Don Valley Stadium was terminated on Thursday, while Dale Tonge again looks set to miss out with a foot injury.
United have lost their last three games to Notts County, Port Vale and Aldershot and will be desperate for a win to regain third spot.
