Match Preview
Randall blow for Millers Rotherham have been rocked by the absence of Mark Randall for the home game with Macclesfield. The midfielder, on loan from Arsenal, only lasted 20 minutes of his debut at Southend on Saturday before breaking his collarbone and he now faces up to eight weeks on the sidelines. Defender Exodus Geohaghon has returned to Peterborough following the completion of his three-month loan spell but skipper Ryan Cresswell has recovered from a back injury that has kept him out of the last two games and he will return to the side. Boss Ronnie Moore was incensed at the performance of his side as they slumped to defeat in Essex and has promised changes. Ryan Taylor should retain his position in attack but Marcus Marshall, Danny Harrison, Luke Ashworth and Mark Bradley will all be in with a shout of a starting berth. Macclesfield manager Gary Simpson again has a number of injury absentees. Striker Emile Sinclair and defender Paul Morgan have hamstring problems, midfielder Richard Butcher still has a knee injury and Shaun Brisley is out with a hip problem. However, forward Ricky Sappleton was on the bench at the weekend for the first time after his split knee-cap last season. Simpson has no other major injury or suspension concerns as his side seek to build on Saturday`s 2-1 home win over Burton. Brewers boss Paul Peschisolido accused the Silkmen of being a long-ball team after the game but Simpson retorted: "I'm pleased that he thinks we're a difficult place to come because I want people to be worried and thinking this is a hard place to come."

Match Report
Alfie flies to Millers' rescue Adam Le Fondre struck his 13th league goal of the season as Rotherham salvaged a 1-1 draw against Macclesfield. The Millers' best chances of the first half came early on with Le Fondre shooting wide after four minutes, before Ryan Taylor just failed to get his head to Nicky Law's cross three minutes later. Kevin Ellison followed up with two shots that were well saved by Jose Veiga, but, although Le Fondre was tormenting the Silkmen, Rotherham continued to draw a blank. A minute into the second half, the visitors almost caught Rotherham napping when Andy Warrington failed to hold Hamza Bencherif's 35-yard effort, only for Johnny Mullins to clear the danger. But, with six minutes remaining, Macclesfield took the lead as Barnett finished coolly after a neat one-two. Their lead lasted barely a minute, though, as Le Fondre stabbed home to secure his side a share of the spoils.
