Northampton face a trip to Rotherham United at Don Valley Stadium, Sheffield on Tuesday evening, needing to turn around their fortunes at the ground. The Cobblers will be hoping to improve upon a record which has seen them ending up on the losing side in more than half of the games played between the two.
The most recent encounter between these two sides was less than a year ago, in April 2010, the The Millers carving out a narrow 1 - 0 victory in a League Two match.

Recent respective form guides
Rotherham United have only collected 1 win and 3 draws from the last six home games played. While The Millers have scored 9, a worringly large 12 have been leaked at the other end.
Northampton's away form is none too clever either, winning 2 of the last six, but losing the other 4. While the Cobblers have hit 8 goals, 11 have hit the back of the wrong net.
Rotherham U. are just outside the promotion places, in 4th, having taken 30 points from 17 games. Northampton are hovering perilously just above the relegation zone, with 17 points from 17 matches.
