I think it's great that other clubs seem to approach each match with us thinking they only need to turn up to win. Every time I read about a manager saying that his lot really should be beating the likes of us I just know they've either lost or are about to. I also think this explains why we're more successful away than at home - teams expect a harder match away.

When you compare the players that others have in their lineups and then look at ours - where we just have one U21 player - it's easy to see how they (and the fans) get overconfident. What they still don't realise is that we're a team, not a collection of overpaid individuals. Sooner or later they'll accept that we can actually play a bit - but hopefully not before we've got our 50th point.

Have to say I'm really enjoying this season, and long may it continue, the players will only get better with the experience, but they won't ever turn up and expect to win without knowing they have to work.

Don't be too sure.

Rotherham are used to relegation battles. They've survived 5 seasons at it now.

Rotherham are struggling without Barker, we beat them 18 months ago last time we were in this division and I watched them in March on our national Falmer Day.

Barring horrendous refs and injuries we should beat them
