Under pressure Chris Wilder gave debuts on this day to new signings
Ben Futcher, Paul Wotton and Steven MacLean for this fourth division
encounter with Rotherham at the Sheffield based Don Valley Stadium,
home of UK athletics.
Wilder had recently shipped out Mark Creighton, Dannie Bulman and
Jack Midson.
However it did not matter as the U's crashed to another defeat due to two first half goals from
the prolific Adam Le Fondre. Simon Clist pulled a goal back on the stroke of half time
but it was not enough.It was a fourth straight loss - a record that was to get worse the
following week with a home defeat to Gillingham - and Wilder was clinging to his job
by his finger tips.
U's: Clarke; Purkiss, Futcher, Worley, Tonkin; Payne, Wotton, Clist; Potter Craddock, MacLean
Subs: Constable, Green and Heslop.
Millers: Andy Warrington; Nick Fenton, Ryan Cresswell, Mark Bradley, Tom Newey; Stephen Brogan,
Danny Coid, Nicky Law, Marcus Marshall; Ryan Taylor, Adam Le Fondre
