Barnsley banking on grinding down the Millerspublished at 14:45 BST 25 October
Barnsley v Rotherham (15:00 BST)
Image source, ShuttershockA proper South Yorkshire derby this (is there any other sort?), not that Rotherham particularly enjoy these occasions.
The Millers are winless in their past 11 meetings with Barnsley and their last victory at Oakwell came just four months before man landed on the moon!
Throw into the mix Rotherham's miserable away form of just one win from their past nine on the road and you have surely the most bankiest of home bankers, or do you? That solitary victory came on their last away trip so maybe things are about to get better.
Under rookie boss Conor Hourihane Barnsley are nicely tucked in 10th place albeit with only one win from their past five games.
It's a second successive Yorkshire derby for the Tykes and following their draw at Bradford City last weekend they are unbeaten in three local dust-ups so they go into this one as favourites.
Given all that, victory for Rotherham really would be one giant leap for Millerkind...
