The U's have not enjoyed the best of seasons and currently sit in 20th place on 24 points from 29 games. They do have a couple of games in hand but are ten points from safety. Clearly they will be battling for their lives as they fight to stay in the Isthmian Premier Division. They have gone seven games without a league win and gained their first point in that time at home to Dulwich Hamlet last Saturday in a goalless draw. They haven't been conceding many goals and defeat in their last five games have all been by the odd goal. Top goalscorer in all competitions is Davide Rodari on 17. The league meeting between the two sides earlier in the season back in November at the Pilot Field ended in a 1-0 win for the Millers with a Michael Ademiluyi goal on seventy minutes.

The Millers
As Steve McKimm said in his post match interview at the Horsham defeat "glad February is over, it's been a terrible month, taken 2 points out of twelve" however a time for perspective called for I feel, we are currently 4th occupying one of the play off places in our first season at step 3 with 11 games to go. There is much to play for and Steve McKimm and his team will be giving everything as they look for a strong finish to the season and a play off place remains very much in their own hands. No game will be easy with teams all having their own reasons to be looking for the points, today will be no exception.
