Match Preview
Scott ponders changes Rotherham manager Andy Scott has no new injuries but could be tempted to tinker with his starting line-up for the home game with Southend. The Millers conceded three goals last week and Scott has hinted at changes to his back line, who he described as "not up to it" following a 3-3 draw at Torquay. Striker Brett Williams has been struggling with an ankle injury in recent weeks and has returned to parent club Reading for treatment, which could sideline him for a further fortnight. Defender Johnny Mullins returned to action following a long-term knee injury by playing 70 minutes for the reserves in midweek and could be back in contention before the end of the month. Goalkeeper Jamie Annerson and midfielder Paul Warne remain long-term absentees due to their respective knee injuries. Ryan Hall and Anthony Grant miss out for Southend. The midfield pair both picked up their fifth bookings of the season in last weekend's 2-0 victory over Plymouth and now serve automatic one-match suspensions. But manager Paul Sturrock has plenty of options at his disposal, most notably in the form of Jean-Paul Kalala, Ryan Leonard and Jemal Johnson. Defender-come-striker Bilel Mohsni returns into contention having served a one-match ban of his own. Midfielder Lee Sawyer will be given every opportunity to return from his thigh injury but is not expected to be ready for this weekend, neither is striker Barry Corr (knee). Neil Harris made his comeback from a groin injury as a second-half substitute against Argyle last Saturday.

Match Report
Southend keep streak alive Rotherham have not beaten Southend at home in seven attempts since 1980, and they never looked like breaking the hoodoo as the visitors leapfrogged above Rotherham at the top of the table following their 4-0 win. Southend led from the 10th minute and really they deserved more for their first half showing than Peter Gilbert's strike. Rotherham only cleared a right-wing corner to the edge of the penalty area and Gilbert fired home hard and low giving goalkeeper Conrad Logan no chance. A minute earlier Logan had saved well from Michael Timlin and the visitors should have taken control after 16 minutes when a flowing move involving Liam Dickinson and Neil Harris ended with Timlin firing straight at Logan. Rotherham didn't get into gear until just before the break when Alex Revell fired just wide after 35 minutes from Gareth Evans' cross. And two minutes later Troy Brown's header from Danny Schofield's corner was blocked on the line by goalkeeper Glenn Morris and then hacked clear by Mark Phillips. But two minutes after the restart, Southend doubled their lead. Rotherham again failed to defend a right wing corner and a half-hearted headed clearance was volleyed home by Timlin. And on the hour, Timlin did it again. Rotherham again failed to deal with a right wing cross and Timlin ran on to the lose ball and smashed it past Logan. And worse was to follow three minutes later. Again the cross came from the right, again Rotherham were all at sea and Neil Harris was left with a simple tap in.
