Riley will miss out

Cheltenham will be without Martin Riley for the trip to Rotherham after the defender was ruled out for three to four weeks with a minor hamstring tear. David Bird replaced Riley when he limped out of last weekend's 3-2 victory over Crewe and is expected to start in his place, although Andy Gallinagh is also in contention Theo Lewis was given the all-clear to resume training earlier this week following a mild bout of glandular fever but the game will probably come too soon for him. Boss Mark Yates expects to alter his tactical approach for the Don Valley Stadium clash as his side look to build on their impressive start to the season. "I don't think I'm going to go with a (midfield) diamond this weekend," Yates told Cheltenham's official website. "I might change my shape a little because they have some good wide players. I have one or two decisions to make. "We have to make sure we don't get carried away with a pleasing start and I'll be asking the players to maintain their standards."
