Moore Concern at Strikers - Ipswich Town News

Rotherham manager Ronnie Moore says he is concerned regarding Town's pace and ability. Moore, hoaxed into thinking he was set to be Town boss last season, specifically cites strikers Dean Bowditch and Darren Bent as dangers to his side.

The Millers' manager said: "Tomorrow is yet another crucial game, if you think Crystal Palace had pace and ability then Joe Royle's Ipswich Town side for me are even better.

"Young Bowditch has done a magnificent job for them, Bent is a danger up front and they have experience all over the park.

"It will be another severe test but if we can raise our game and play the way we want them to do, then we are a match for anyone and we shouldn't fear any other team.

"I still believe it is our home games that will keep us in this division with Watford and Burnley still to come. Today is certainly a game not to lose, we need to pick up points.

"They are fighting for their lives at the other end to get out of the division while we want to stay in it.

"Joe won't be too happy with the way things went here last season, he wasn't too happy with the pitch and I don't think he will be too happy with it again this year — and the same result will do nicely."

Last season Rotherham came from behind to beat the Blues 2-1 with two late goals. The result all but ended Town's play-off hopes.
