Match Preview
Bishop worry for Shakers Andy Bishop is Bury boss Alan Knill's only injury worry for the visit of Rotherham. The striker, who has two goals in seven starts this season, continues to struggle with tendonitis of the knee and is a doubt after missing the 4-1 win at Morecambe with the problem. Peter Sweeney returned from suspension in midweek to take his place on the bench and is likely to sit out again as Steven Schumacher and Damien Mozika continue to build on a partnership in midfield that has seen two wins out of two so far. Manchester United loanee Nicholas Ajose is pushing for a start after making two appearances from the substitutes bench, impressing during a 25-minute spell at the Globe Arena, setting up goals for both Andy Howarth and Schumacher. Rotherham manager Ronnie Moore will have striker Ryan Taylor in his squad. Taylor was unexpectedly named on the bench just minutes before the 0-0 home draw with Bradford on Tuesday after Marcus Marshall pulled a hamstring in the warm up. The 21-year-old, who broke a metatarsal in the first session of pre-season training, ended up playing the final 10 minutes at Don Valley and will again be involved in the matchday 18 at Gigg Lane. Marshall's injury is likely to keep him out of action against the Shakers, but Moore has no other fresh concerns. On-loan striker Tom Elliott was again an absentee from the squad on Tuesday as he has been refusing to play with a slight hamstring injury and his involvement is again doubtful, while Dale Tonge remains a long-term absentee with a metatarsal problem. The Millers go into the game on the back of a four-match unbeaten run which has seen them among the early pace-setters this term.

Match Report
All square at Bury League Two promotion hopefuls Bury and Rotherham played out a hard-fought 1-1 draw at Gigg Lane. Bury broke the deadlock in the 41st minute through Ryan Lowe's seventh goal of the season - and the 99th league goal of his career. But Adam Le Fondre equalised two minutes after the restart with his 10th this term before the two sides settled for a point. The visitors had the better of the opening stages, with Jason Taylor firing over before Le Fondre dragged a left-footed effort wide from Nicky Law's through-ball. Bury replied with Mike Jones blazing over from a Joe Skarz cross while Lenell John-Lewis went close with two long-range efforts. And the Shakers snatched the lead as Lowe latched onto a woeful backpass by Exodus Geohaghon to round Andy Warrington and tap into an empty net. The visitors made a great start to the second half as Kevin Ellison managed to cross from deep on the left for Le Fondre to head home unmarked at the near post. Nick Fenton then headed into the side-netting while Le Fondre fired over from distance. But Bury substitute Nicky Ajose, on loan from Manchester United, went closest to winning it when denied by Warrington late on.
