Rotherham squad members who played for us

Two strikers from Rotherham who have played for Walsall are Martin butler and Deon Burton.  Deon Burton played four games on loan with us in the 2003-4 season.  Butler however played for us between 1993-7 and scored 12 goals for us in 76 appearances.

Mark Robins is a part of the backroom staff at Rotherham which of course he joined from us.


Rotherhams Star Player

Jamal Cambell-Ryce
joined Rotherham from Charlton last season after his loan spell at Chesterfield ran out.  It was at Chesterfield where he showed his potential after his first period of regular first team football.  He is a fantastic player with trickery in abundance.  In league one i expect him to be a real handfull.  He has yet to score for Rotherham to date i fully expect this will not be the case for long but hopefully he will not change that statistic against us on Saturday!!


What Do Rotherham sing??

If i had the wings of a sparrow
and the dirty great ass of a crow
i would fly over Hillsbrough and S@~t on the Ba@*&ds below.

Who to who to be to who to be a miller


Food  The Millers fan's are adamant that the Pukka pie is a tastier alternative to the Chicken Balti!!! but do we agree!?


Prediction

It is vital to our season that we get an early away win under our belts.  I still maintain that losing the 2-0 leads in our first 2 away games of last season cost us a promotion push.  This year however i think we have learnt Attack Attack Attack has a time and a place and when 2-0 up away the we dont have to play that way.  Im going for a 2-1 win for us with Matty Fryatt scoring for us and one for Jorge after he comes off the bench.
