Rotherham v QPR 13APR21 1 - 1 63mins 11th/56pts

What a difference another win makes. We may have only moved up a few places with our wins, but they have proved what character the squad possesses and will have raised the confidence level even higher. Just as well because we are facing the Millers and we usually seem to falter against struggling, physical sides. Of concern will be the state of Lyndon Dykes after he went off with a head injury that seemed to be worrying the club doc. Other than that we picked up no other injuries and I thought Bettache did himself a power of good by his performance when he came on for the last 20 mins or so. He was tenacious and skilful - not an easy combination, and he has proved he is a viable alternative to Chair or even Johansen. He worked well alongside a dogged Ball, who had a good game again.

Here are the stats for both sides:

Rotherham  DWLWW 20th 29pts   -4GD
QPR           WWLWW 16th 33pts   -6GD

To put this into perspective, 27 points would put you into the relegation zone and a win would push us up into 13th place. So the bottom half of the table is tight! What is also of interest is that Rotherham have played one game less than us (so could be on 32 points instead of 29) and have two games in hand over many other teams. More of an equal than a lower side....

So onto the team selection:

Dieng
Dickie Cameron Barbet
Kane Ball Johansen Willock
Dykes (Bonne if inj.) Chair Austin

We need to see De Wijs & Field on that bench, and Thomas getting time on the field!
