It's Super Saturday in the Championship. 'boro go to Swansea; the sheep are at Brentford; Villa go to Sheff Wed. They could all be home wins and if they are and we win we will be seventh, level on points with Villa - separated by goal difference.
But we all know it won't pan out like that. I'll settle for us winning and Villa dropping points.

Had a few trips up to Rotherham in the past. Always seems to be a bit angst ridden up there, more so than any other South York’s ground. Nice little town centre of you can find a pub that’s of the beaten track. The new ground is handily placed across the ring road from the old ground that is still standing years after they left it. Decent little set up.
A first win at the NYS is fairly essential to keep that outside chance of the top six within Forest’s grasp. Normally I would be worried that a footballing Forest side would get bullied at their place. No chance this time. Forest have some cahones now, although it is at the expense of a little bit of footballing nous. I reckon needs must at the moment as it is all about results.
I’m going Millers 0-2 Forest. I reckon two late goals will see off a spirited home side.
Lolley and Benalouane to bag the goals.
Question is do we follow up a win last with something less this week, or do we follow last week's below par performance with something better. Could be both.

Hope you lose though
I've only just got my internet back this morning for some reason, after two days out.
Today is going to be a tough match, I expect it to be tight, with perhaps only one goal in it. Semi Ajayi is the man to watch, 6 goals in the last 6 games!
One or two surprises in the line up:
Pantilimon
Janko, Wague, Benalouane, Osborn
Cash, Watson, Colback, Lolley
Grabban, Murphy
Subs: Steele, Carvalho, Robinson, Yacob, Pele, Ansarifard, Appiah.
Osborn at lb again, I just don’t get it. Still think we should just about have enough, going for a 1-0 reds win.
Both Murphy and Watson struggle to get through ninety minutes so that will be two subs. Just hope we don't pick up any injuries that necessitate sing a sub.
Time for some Appiah fire!
I'd also like to see Cash and Lolley stay wide rather than narrow the midfield to allow our FBs to bomb on.
Yates not even on the bench. The youngster has given us a lot over the last few weeks; he deserves a rest and chance to recharge. He'll be back in the squad at least when Colback serves his ban.
Yates was looking leggy against Swansea and got taken off. To be fair, for the same reasons they took Milosevic out of the firing line, it is hard to argue that he needs a time out.
OK guys, I won't be posting this afternoon as I have a long drive ahead of me.
Probably out of range of RN by kick off so will keep up to date via R5.
Enjoy the game.

Interesting to see Janko get a look in. Darikwa was looking a little out of sorts. Celina have him the run around and he didn’t look like he could put an accurate cross in to save his life. The competition for right back is now as strong as it’s been for a while with Byram also looking to grab that place too.

Safe journey! I’m at work so I’ll pop in now and again.
Interesting line up; Ben is obviously in the team to get forward and Janko can also play left back.
Having said that Rotherham like to score from crosses and corners, or I assume they do when one of their defenders has scored 6 goals in 6 games.
Osborn was quite positive last week getting forward. Like Darikwa, his crossing was a little erratic but there was also a lack of numbers in the area for most of the game from Forest too.
Millers with an early penalty shout for handball that’s turned down.
Benalouane hits the post! 😩
