The Sunderland Prophet - Rotherham United V Sunderland AFC

Rotherham United
Our form is not good, not good at all. We're still picking up points, but you just have to look at Wigan to see how poor we have been recently. As I predicted before the start of the season, Stephen Elliott will be the key to our promotion push, but we need to start scoring more goals, allot more.

Rotherham United seem to be getting beat by everybody at the moment and although you would always back a win, it's one of those fixtures that you just know Sunderland would loose, but Im still going to go for an away win.

I still don't understand why Dean Whitehead starts ahead of Liam Lawrence, when we improve everytime Lawrence takes to the field. I don't beleive that Mick is playing the strongest team possible. I would play Poom, Wright, Caldwell, Breen, Arca (at left back), Lawrence (at right wing), Robinson, Whitley, Whiethead (at left wing), Elliott and Bridges. Mick won't play this formation, but I think it's the best, don't agree, then send us your feed back.

Starting eleven: Poom, Wright, Breen, Caldwell, McCartney, Whitehead, Robinson, Whitley, Arca, Stewart and Elliott.

Subs: Mhyre, Lynch, Lawrence, Collins, N and Bridges.

Score: ROTHERHAM UNITED 0 SUNDERLAND AFC 3

Scorers: MCCARTNEY, ELLIOTT AND BRIDGES.
