Lincoln City's game against Rotherham on Friday has taken an interesting twist with the news that Ronnie Moore plans to change the starting XI of the out-of-form Millers. The promotion chasers were brushed aside by Chesterfield at the weekend and Moore was far from happy.

Rotherham got relegated back to League Two in 2007 and have won every single meeting in every single competition since then against the Imps. Despite City's form not being brilliant, Rotherham's poor form means City have arguably their best chance to beat the Millers for the first time since the opening day of the 1999/2000 season.

The Millers will come into Friday night's game having been beat 5-0 at Chesterfield and it was a performance that Ronnie Moore was understandably far from happy with.

"We had every chance of closing the gap to one point but we have hurt ourselves considerably with the goals we have conceded.  If we defend the way we defended then you are going to lose games. That 11 will certainly not be the same next week, they will all be in and we start again," Moore told the pressure after the match.

"We still have games to play, it isn't the last game of the season but if we play like that then we haven't got a prayer. That won't happen again. We will change things around and we will make sure we go to Lincoln with players who haven't been in the team recently who think they should, and they will have a chance to prove themselves."

Rotherham haven't won in their last five matches, not scoring in three of them and they have won just six games out of eighteen since the turn of the year. The goals for City's chief tormentor Adam Le Fondre also appear to have dried up, with the striker only scoring four times in 2011.

Rotherham will make numerous changes ahead of visit

Reading a few Rotherham message boards he has apparantly said that if he had a gun he would shoot all of his players......a bit harsh.

There are also numerous posts and articles on other sites saying that he is getting sacked for poor form......sacked for being in the Playoff places and still in with a good chance of promotion......oh to have Rotherham's problems

Good Luck, Mr Gorsky
