    This is not their starting line up tonight but the line up that caused the biggest FA Cup upset of all times! In fact the next 3 games are against previous winners of the FA Cup but it's something that we're highly unlikely to achieve. Obviously Sheffield Wednesdays win was back in black and white whilst Wigans was the last game of the season that they fell from grace. Grace being the Premiership and again a place where we're unlikely to play.

    I don't mind that being at the top of League One is equivalent for those teams being at the top of the Championship but it isn't. For some teams in this league being in the Championship isn't good enough and their fans would complain if they weren't challenging for a european places.

    For them it's a nightmare but for us, realistically it's a dream that we're living! On top of that, to be in with a great chance of getting to a final in the same season that we could take our first championship since 1980/81 is more than we could expect!

    What next? let's get this season over and done with and aim for Championship survival!

    It's greaterer being a Miller than any other team in this division!

    Enjoy the match boys and girls!

    Come On You Reds!

    Looking at Wimbledon' last five games: D L D D L it isn't all that bad.
    What we have to look at in out last five we've L W W W W and our loss was against a lower league side.

    Never take for granted we can just stroll in there and take all 3 points, that's just being pig headed and thinking you're it and we're not.

    What's needed tonight is level headedness and a strong approach to the game from the off. If Warne has them fired up we should see us attacking and on all fronts and hopefully we get an early goal to settle our nerves. Nothing is ever a given in football and tonight is no different. Yes 3 points would be brilliant and a draw wouldn't be the end of the world, a loss however would not be the result we need.

    Patience is call for and I would be quite happy with another scrappy 1-0 win. I am not expecting another Donny result but if it happens it bodes well on our + goal difference. Hope those travelling down there tonight have arrived safely and have a safe journey home.

    UTM!!

    Morning Frog'n'all. As always with these games, I have no idea how well we will do. We can be magically brilliant and we can stumble and stall. We've managed to win a lot of games with both manifestations but it doesn't make it any easier being a Millers supporter, does it!

    In any event a pleasant way to spend a Tuesday lunch time for me and I look forward to it.

    Is the absence of Rathbone & Miller a little insight into what the team will be on Sunday or is it injury or illness related?

    It’s not the end of the world.if injury wasn’t going to get to rathbone then suspensions will eventually. it’s a squad game and the squad will be needed.a good opportunity for some of them to come in and show us and the players what are out what they can do.injury got vickers in on two occasions and it wasn’t a detriment in fact probably the opposite..UTM.
