Former Carlisle goalkeeper Adam Collin spoke to his club’s official website ahead of his side’s game at Brunton Park tomorrow, Collin first looking back on his spell with the Blues:
“I came from Carlisle, where I was number one and played a lot of games, so it will be good to go back, as I've got a lot of friends there. I've now played 20 games on the bounce for Rotherham so it's nice to get a run of games and I'll hopefully keep the shirt for the rest of the season. Carlisle is a fixture I looked out for, I kept a clean sheet against them earlier in the season at our place and I'll be looking to do the same again on Saturday.
"Carlisle are fighting for their lives and it's going to be really tough. It's tough for any team to go there, so we’ll have to battle hard there but the late goals we have scored recently shows the character we have. There's a good belief in the squad and it shows what we are doing is right at the moment.
"It's the biggest squad I've ever been involved with. There is big competition for places all over the pitch. It keeps lads on their toes and if you have a bad day at the office, you may not play the next game. There's a lot of games left so we have to consolidate our play-off position firstly but if we keep picking up points, we'll be challenging the top two."
In team news for the Millers tomorrow they have two players definitely missing, while they also have doubts over the others. Certainly absent are left-sided midfielder Rob Milsom who is still on the comeback trail from a thigh strain, while 19-year old central midfielder Mitch Rose, younger brother of Tottenham’s Danny, is out for the season after undergoing knee surgery on a torn tendon in September.
Rated as 50-50 for the match meanwhile are right-back Mark Bradley and skipper and centre-half Craig Morgan, Bradley struggling with a back problem in the latter stages of Rotherham’s 2-1 midweek victory over Stevenage, while Morgan missed that game with a bout of tonsillitis. One player who did take a knock in that win though was giant centre-half Claude Davis, who had double vision after a bang on the head, Davis has trained since then however and will be available for selection tomorrow.
The referee for tomorrow's match is Stephen Martin from Stafford and he will be assisted down the lines by Barry Gordon from Chester-le-Street and Simeon Lucas from Carnforth. Meanwhile the fourth official is Graeme Fyvie from Sunderland.
