Team news
The Robins will be without Martin Riley (hamstring) this weekend after picking up an injury in the 3-2 victory over Crewe. Theo Lewis (glandular fever) has now returned to full training but this game may come a little soon for the young forward.
Rotherham have a doubt over striker Tom Elliott, who picked up a thigh strain during last week's 0-0 draw with Morecambe.

Robins boss Mark Yates speaks to the media ahead of tomorrow's trip north to Sheffield
"Our aim on Saturday is to get the ball down and play good football but we're also in the business of winning games and it's not going to be pretty all the time."
Yates: we must maintain standards
Previous meetings
One of the more significant games in the history of Cheltenham Town occured away to Rotherham United, albeit at the Millers' former home at Millmoor before their temporary relocation to the Don Valley Stadium in 2008. The dramatic 4-2 success recorded four seasons ago clinched a second successive term in Coca-Cola League One when John Ward's men came from two goals down to escape demotion thanks to goals by Kayode Odejayi, JJ Melligan and a Steve Gillespie brace. Steve Cotterill's side lost 2-0 on their first visit, back in 2000 (a game in which both Mark Yates and Neil Howarth featured) while the two sides drew 0-0 in Sheffield the last time the pair met back in April.
