Dale without Taylor for Millers test

Taylor is on loan from the Millers and is ineligible to face his parent club. Hill has no new injury or suspension concerns but first-choice goalkeeper Kenny Arthur is still struggling with a back problem. However, Manchester United stopper Tom Heaton has extended his loan at Spotland by a further month and he will continue between the posts. Hill's men closed 2009 with a thumping 4-1 win against Morecambe at Spotland and go into the Rotherham game five points clear of second-placed Bournemouth and an impressive 14 points clear of fourth-placed Notts County. Hill said: "We have the building blocks in place and now it's important to keep the forward momentum."
