    We've only beat Burton once on home soil (including DVS) which confirms my suspicion that they are something of a bogey team for us. That one win was of course the 3-0 win on that wonderful day in August 2012, the first ever league game at our beloved NYS. Burton were merely lambs to the slaughter that day.
    It was a surreal experience seeing 11000 Rotherham fans packed in, when you've been used to 3000 at Millmoor and Don Valley.
    Now we're averaging a steady 8500, I sometimes wonder where the extra 2500 fans disappeared to and if they'll ever come back? Only an handful of times have we had our own fans sharing the south stand.

    Anyway, Burton. Well organised, hard to beat and in all fairness a decent team. I hope it doesn't turn out to be a case of 'after the Lord mayor's show', rarely do we play that well twice in a row. I'll take an ugly flukey undeserved win though if needs be.

    However my feeling is we will win 2-0. Crooks and Vassell the scorers.

    I’d prefer a clean sheet but I’ll take the 3 goals

    Last week they got Jamie Murphy in on loan from Rangers. I expect him to be their best player but I’m sure we will be to strong for them.
    We’ve started keeping clean sheets at home now. If we are going to go up NYS needs to become a fortress.
    2-0 to Rotherham.

    It was a fairly tough game at Burton early in the season when we won 1-0, with a Wiles shot that hit the post, then deflected off their keeper into the net. Likely to be "difficult to break down" opponents, so hopefully Warney will have some ideas of how to deal with that

    We have good flank play and down the middle - high pressing can work well, though always watchful for long balls over the top for any quick lads they have to chase down

    A question for people cleverer than me(that covers a lot of people).
    Is Woody the highest scoring centre back in the division and how far up the "charts" in the other divisions is he?.Sorry about it falling somewhere between a football question and an OT.
