Ade Akinbiyi is making a slow return to fitness after being out all season and Danny Granville is in the middle of serving a three-match suspension for an undeserved red card picked up against Oldham.

Going into Sunday's game against Rotherham, Kit Symons, who is returning to full fitness after a long time out injured himself said: "Quite a few people wouldn't back us to win but we're playing with confidence and we're playing well.

"We have a lot of injuries and we're very light on bodies but we can cope."
