Preview

Rotherham couldn't muster a response to Tommy Leigh's first-half opener in gameweek five as the Millers suffered a narrow away defeat to league leaders Bristol Rovers. There is no shame in that result for the hosts, who were unbeaten in three before that defeat.

After a miserable start to the League Two campaign under Peter Cklamovski, Salford City are starting to turn the ship around. The Ammies have followed up three straight league defeats with back-to-back narrow wins against Newport County and Port Vale.
