I'm back in the office just in time for kickoff. Here are the teams:
Rotherham - Collin, Richardson, Morgan, Anason, Skarz, Hall, Frecklington, Green, Pringle, Derbyshire, Revell. Subs: Loach, Broadfoot, Bowery, Swift, Taylor, Clarke-Hall, Smallwood.
Leeds - Silvestri, Berardi, Bellusci, Pearce, Warnock, Bianchi, Austin, Mowatt, Cook, Antenucci, Doukara. Subs: Byram, Sharp, Adryan, Morison, Taylor, Cooper, Sloth.
Rudy Austin tries a pop from distance. Well wide.
Darko Milanic looking pensive on the touchline. This is his fourth match in charge and he's yet to win one.
Oh - Antenucci had a half chance there.
More than a half chance, on the replay. Mowatt laid it on a plate for the Italian and he should have scored.
Free kick for Rotherham now...
Hall blasts well over the top.
We really need to hammer these mugs - they're not very good.
Good afternoon, Bob. I am having a short lull. How are things in Rotherham?
Not sure about this kit at all. I don't mind the navy blue but the pin stripes and the gold lettering of names on the back are really naff.
Hiya, mate - it's been a bit of a bore really. One or two shots on goal for both sides but apart from the Antenucci chance, no real goalscoring opportunities.
Free kick is cleared out by Austin.
Corner conceded. Come on!
Frecklington picks up a yellow for a nasty late one on Berardi.
I cannot follow the usual link because it was messing up the computer. I will follow via text updates.
YESSSSSSSSS!!!!!! Antenucci comes good!
Leeds 0-1 up!
Lovely weighted ball in from Doukara to Antenucci who finished coolly in the bottom corner. Sheer class!
We're on the attack again, trying to kill Rotherham off once and for all.
Derbyshire wins a corner for Rotherham.
We're up to 9th win 18 points now. A mere point out of the playoffs - gulp!
Frecklington produces a decent save out of Silvestri.
Bianchi's down with a knock now.
WAY HAY!!! Glad to hear it.
SCORE MORE, LEEDS!!!
Hamilton Academical, top of the SPL , are one up vs Aberdeen. I never would have picked them to be top.
Cheers, mate - into stoppage time now.
Decent free kick chance to end the half.
Great noise coming from the away Leeds support. MOT!
RUdy takes and hits the wall. Out for a throw.
And that's the first half. We go in 0-1 in and deservedly so.
The teams are coming back out for the second half now.
Ryan Hall has come off for Rotherham. No changes for the Leeds boys as the half starts.
Quick start for us in this half with several breakaway opportunities. The final ball was lacking.
Taylor hits one that loops off Warny and behind for a corner. Phew!
Great strike from Taylor at the free kick parried away by Silvestri.
Bianchi has been begging for one and now he's seen yellow.
Silvestri punches another one away when he could have caught it. Not liking that at all.
The match is opening up quite a bit now. Nice ebb and flow to the match.
Oh - Mowatt burst through and had a decent crack on goal smothered.
BUGGGGERRRR!
Alex Revell cleans up an untidy parry by Silvestri after Frecklington's shot tested him.
1-1
We need another now - come on, you Leeds!
Rotherham tails are up now - we'll have to weather some attacking for a moment or two. Could get dangerous.
GOAL! Doukara strikes!
No - it's ruled offside and rightly so.
About an hour in and some changes being made.
Clarke-Harris coming on for Derbyshire.
Ooooh - a rare look at the boy wonder Adryan coming on for Lewis Cook.
Would love to see a couple of goals out of the young Brazilian this evening.
BUGGGERRRRR!
The supersub Clarke-Harris has scored for Rotherham. Really sloppy defending.
Bloody hell - we really do need two goals out of Adryan now. Come on, boy!
From the heights of 9th to the depths of 14th. Bugger!
Nice stuff from Adryan there - wins a corner.
Oh - Clarke-Harris nearly struck again. Good header, gathered by Silvestri.
A bit of argybargy between Silvestri and Revell there. Yellow cards all round.
Billy Sharp to come on for reinforcements now.
Now it's Doukara into the book for a late one.
And now he's off for Sharp.
Just over ten minutes plus stoppage time now.
Smallwood coming on for Moore.
Still one more sub left for us. Use it!
Austin wins a corner now. Come on!
Some nice flashes by the young Brazilian.
Apparently Cellino is not in attendance tonight because the number 17 (Paddy Kenny's old number) is unlikely - what a load of tosh!
Oh - Antenucci did so well there turning and shooting but Collin saved well. Come on!
Oh - Adryan with a nice chance there hoiked over the bar.
11.5K in attendance tonight - probably half of those are Leeds fans.
Last roll of the dice now - Steve Morison to come on for Bianchi. Come on, you Leeds boys!
Four minutes of stoppage time to be played.
Revell was straight in on goal but hit Silvestri.
Clarke-Harris picks up a yellow for time-wasting.
Now a free kick for Rotherham. They're killing valuable time here.
Bloody hell - we really played ourselves into trouble there.
Frustration for Adryan and he picks up a yellow.
Got to get the ball in the box!
Time for one last corner. Come on!
Silvestri has come up for it!
And that's it - Morison heads wide and the ref blows up.
2-1 Rotherham in the end. We're back down to 14th and will probably sink to 15th or 16th tomorrow afternoon. Still on 15 points with 35 to get in some 35 matches.
