Star striker back to test former club

BYFIELD: Available after suspension
BYFIELD: Available after suspension

Gillingham v Rotherham United

FORMER Rotherham star Darren Byfield is set for a return to the Gillingham starting line-up after suspension for the visit of his odl club to Priestfield on Saturday.

And in another twist to the plot, ex-Gill Paul Shaw could be in the Millers side.

The visit of fellow strugglers Rotherham, who currently lie in the bottom three of the Coca-Cola League 1 table, should provide Gillingham with a good chance of picking up three points.

The club have won six and drawn two of their last eight home matches in the league.

Gills manager Ronnie Jepson said: "Rotherham are a strong, physical side who like to play the ball long into the channels. They have a lot of pace in their team, which we will have to be wary of.

"They have also brought in a few players on loan recently and were unlucky not to beat Nottingham Forest.

"But we want to focus more on how we play as a team rather than the opposition. Team spirit is really good at the moment and all the lads are working hard in matches."
