Doubtful: Johnson is struggling with a calf injury.
Ian McParland may have to shuffle his team around due to three players struggling ahead of tomorrow's game.

Michael Johnson remains doubtful with a calf injury that saw him to be withdrawn from the action early on against Chester City.

Substitutes Jonathan Forte and Gavin Strachan could also miss out through illness, however, both are expected to pull through in time.

Definitely missing out will is Russell Hoult (shoulder) who has been joined by Stephen Hunt (ankle) more recently.

Despite injury problems club captain John Thompson is hoping that the team can turn around their poor run of form over the busy Easter schedule.

Speaking to the Nottingham Evening Post, he said:"I don't believe that because it's the end of the season now so we should know all about each other's strengths and weaknesses by now.

"With the players that we have got we should easily have been in a promotion push at this stage of the season.

"It's not down to the management staff that we are not because they prepare us well for every game.

"It's down to us players at the end of the day because we haven't performed as well as we should have done over the course of the season."

Rotherham boss Mark Robins is set to utilise some of his squad players now that his team are safe from relegation.

Jamie Green (ankle), Mark Lynch (shoulder), Stephen Brogan (leg) and Richie Barker (knee) are all missing for the Millers.
