Match Preview
Defensive misery for Moore Rotherham manager Ronnie Moore will hope to have a new defensive loan signing in place when Oxford visit Don Valley. The Millers are struggling for numbers as right-back Johnny Mullins faces two weeks out with a calf injury while Nick Fenton picked up a knock in the midweek defeat against Huddersfield and remains a doubt. Moore has targeted a Premier League or Championship replacement but if he is unable to bolster his squad then midfielder Danny Harrison is set to fill in at right-back. Moore's problems are not restricted to defence, however, as striker Ryan Taylor suffered a knee injury on Tuesday and faces a race against time to be fit while star man Adam Le Fondre has been laid low with a bout of sickness but returned to training on Thursday and should be OK. Stephen Brogan is hoping to earn a first league start since February on the left of midfield, with Tom Newey set to return at left-back. Oxford manager chris Wilder has three new players at his disposal for the trip. Wilder has moved fast during the week to tie up loan deals for a trio of players who have a vast amount of Football League experience. Defender Ben Futcher has joined from Bury, midfielder Paul Wotton has arrived from Southampton and striker Steven Maclean has signed from Plymouth and all three new signings are in contention to make their debuts against Ronnie Moore's men. Jake Wright is unavailable as he serves the final game of his three-match suspension while Sam Deering and Asa Hall are both pushing for a start after their goals in midweek for the reserves. Striker James Constable should return to the squad after missing the FA Cup defeat to Burton through illness. M

Match Report
Le Fondre on the double as Millers triumph Rotherham finally got back to winning ways after five games without success courtesy of a 2-1 triumph at home to Oxford. Both teams took a while to get into gear and the first chance fell to the visitors after 18 minutes, but with the goal at his mercy Alfie Potter could not direct his header on target from Ben Futcher's cross. Josh Payne then had a shot saved by Andy Warrington before Rotherham took the lead through Adam Le Fondre in the 26th minute. Le Fondre was poaching on the edge of the six-yard area and when Oxford failed to clear, Le Fondre pounced for his 15th of the season. Eleven minutes later Le Fondre added a second, steering his shot into the corner from Ryan Taylor's head down. But Oxford pulled one back in first-half injury time. Tom Craddock's shot was saved by Warrington's legs but the ball flew straight to Simon Clist and he drilled his effort past the grounded goalkeeper. Rotherham failed to find their shooting boots after the break and Taylor saw three good efforts go off target before Nicky Law drilled a shot just wide of a post. And the home side were almost made to pay when Paul Wotton had a late shot tipped over the bar as the home side fought a rearguard action to keep Oxford out.
