    Rotherham and Aldershot meet again in their second leg play-off semi-final at the Don Valley Stadium.

    Millers take slender advantage into second leg

    Rotherham have the edge in their League Two play-off semi-final against Aldershot, as the two sides meet again at the Don Valley Stadium. The Millers nicked a 1-0 away win in the first leg after Adam Le Fondre latched on to a disastrous back-pass from Aaron Brown, but Aldershot are not out of it just yet. Just one point separated the two teams in the league table this season and with such a slender margin between them at the moment, the Shots travel to South Yorkshire knowing that a lot of drama could still lay before them. Rotherham manager Ronnie Moore has no fresh injury or suspension worries ahead of the clash. Top-scorer Le Fondre netted in the 88th minute on his return to the side last time out and will continue up front alongside Ryan Taylor, who played his first game for the club since his loan spell at Exeter. On-loan Middlesbrough midfielder Josh Walker will again have to settle for a place on the bench after being an unused substitute at the Recreation Ground. Moore admitted some of his players are struggling with knocks but insists they will play through them leaving striker Tom Pope and defender Dale Tonge as the only absentees.

    Shots news

    Aldershot will be without goalkeeper Jamie Young. Young lasted just 23 minutes of Saturday's first leg before he injured his knee so Venezuelan Mikhael Jaimez-Ruiz will start between the posts. Manager Kevin Dillon has no other injury concerns as he looks to overturn the 1-0 deficit and send the Shots to Wembley for the first time. Former Reading midfielder John Halls started the first leg but looked short of match fitness so Ben Harding may come in but full-backs Ben Herd and Andy Sandell came through unscathed and will keep their places. Player of the year Herd is fit after a month out with an ankle injury while Sandell has shaken off a groin problem. Aaron Brown should start at centre-half despite his error on Saturday.
