One of the relegated Clubs from the Championship at the Mem today.
Will Ollie Clarke be re instated ? Will GC continue with Alex Rodman at wing back?
Expect JCH to go all out to score against one of his former clubs.
Can we maintain our unbeaten home record ?
The Millers have already won at Wimbledon and Burton plus Shrewsbury in EFL Cup and drawn at Sunderland. I am predicting a 1-1 draw.

No to Ollie Clarke re instated, especially as a role of captain. Lovely fella no doubt, but I don't see him as a leader. Probably, AR. It appeared to work last week, but today's opposition is whole different ball game. Agree with comments on JCH, I think this will be his sort of platform. Yes. We can and should maintain unbeaten home record, although we sometimes need to go behind before we get our game going. Disagree with prediction.....I think after recent form and performance (even v Burton) we should be confident. I say Gas 2-1. The one chuckle brother not chuckling so much at 5pm. 7200 crowd. Upson and JCH. Play off place beckons.. COME ON YOU BLUES! UptheGas..

Ollie Clarke latest in a long line of players, mainly local, to be 'targeted'!
Would give Sercs another chance today.
Can't seeing there being many other changes.

Any talk of pitch inspection? It may only be September but the water table must be high this end of week.

Ollie Clarke is an honest professional who always gives his best. I don't "target" him. I just feel that is not good enough to be undroppable. And he does not make a good captain. Hope he is back from injury and comes off the bench at some stage. Given the result last week - I hope we have an unchanged XI. Tough game today, would take a draw. UTG.

Agreed OC has disappointed as captain and it should be Craig or even Davies. Sercombe looked sharp against Chelsea and with Upson and Ogogo would be my choice in midfield. Nichols and JCH maybe bring on Smith as Tom tires.
Another goal for JCH and an Attendance of 6,666.

Bit of slinky play 1st 15. Smith shouldda scored
Rot more and more dominant. Big lads winning the 50/50s. Rovers skying it out from the back
Cogs will be grinding at HT. Some change needed. Rot looking a bit wet at the back at least. CB climbing all over KJT

Thoroughly deserved win. We were very good second half. Apart from Nicols.

First half we got pushed around and couldn't live with their movement. Lucky to go in 0-0.
Second half got the midfield right and bossed the game.
Sercombe is twice the footballer that Ollie will ever be, but you have to play him in the correct position.
Nichols sat on his lazy arse watching Smith chase players for 85 minutes, then was given a chance, and did nothing, in fact, he literally gave up chasing one of their guys down the right wing and gave him a free run at our defence. He's a disgrace to our shirt. Shame on you Nichols!
As a team it was a good solid performance.
Opposition had funniest selection of haircuts I've seen in a while. May be a competition, who can make themselves look daftest?

I really don't get Nichols - after his excellent work to set up Ogogo last week I thought he might have finally turned the corner and become a valuable asset. But, as others have already pointed out, he just went straight back to his default mode today - came on, did nothing. He had about 15 minutes according to my watch so it wasn't as if he was a NOLE sub - he just couldn't seem to be bothered to get involved in any way. If he's upset about Smith getting the shirt today, the way to express that anger is to try to outshine him, not go through the motions. Where's your pride Tom?
