Match Preview

Trio out for Robins Cheltenham will be without Jeff Goulding, Josh Low and Keith Lowe for the visit of Rotherham. Goulding was forced off after just 15 minutes of last weekend`s crushing 8-1 defeat at Crewe having hurt his ankle, with it touch and go whether the 10-goal striker will play again this season. Winger Low missed the clash altogether having sustained a blow to his shin in training ahead of the game, although he is expected to return into contention for next weekend`s trip to Burton. Right-back Lowe also missed the mauling at Gresty Road with an ankle injury which is expected to keep him sidelined for a couple more weeks. On-loan Ashley Eastham has returned to Blackpool following the completion of his stay, with the young centre-back keen to try and secure a new contract with the Premier League club as his current deal expires in the summer. Full-back Kyle Haynes has been recalled from his loan spell with non-league Hednesford and is set to make Town`s matchday 18, along with youth-team captain James Fawke, who is hoping for his first-team debut. Tom Pope could return to the Rotherham line-up after caretaker boss Andy Liddle recalled the striker at Port Vale this week. Pope netted three times during his spell in Staffordshire, but, with Rotherham just a single point behind Vale in 10th place, he has returned to help the Millers' cause. Fellow forward Ian Thomas-Moore has been sidelined with a thigh problem, but is optimistic over his chances of facing Cheltenham. "It has been a strange injury because it is not something that I have had before," Thomas-Moore told the Sheffield Star. "It is getting better every day so hopefully I will be okay." Skipper Ryan Creswell is set to return from a similar injury, while reserve goalkeeper Jamie Annerson is poised to start after Andy Warrington underwent surgery on a chipped bone in his foot.

Match Report

Robins bounce back with point Cheltenham bounced back from their eight-goal thrashing at Crewe last week to earn a battling point in a 1-1 draw against Rotherham. But the Robins did it the hard way, falling behind after just 12 minutes when Jason Taylor drilled in from the edge of the box. Within a minute Matt Green nearly equalised, cutting in from the right and rifling a shot against the post. Andy Gallinagh also had a first-half header tipped on to the crossbar by goalkeeper Jamie Annerson but the defender did grab the equaliser after 62 minutes following a goalmouth scramble when Annerson spilled a Danny Andrew cross. Both sides created a host of chances with Rotherham's Tom Pope having two headers cleared off the line in the first half. Team-mate Nicky Law also fizzed a drive just wide and then after the break saw a glancing header well saved by Scott Brown. Brown was the busier of the keepers, palming over a Marcus Marshall header from 12 yards and reacting sharply to stop a Ryan Taylor effort from close range. In stoppage time, Millers substitute Liam Henderson headed just wide.
