A YORKSHIRE derby is just the sort of fixture for Rotherham United after their midweek shock defeat, reckons manager Mark Robins.
The Millers take on Stuart McCall's sixth-placed Bradford City at Don Valley Stadium looking to bounce back from the midweek FA Cup exit.
"It's a good one to have, definitely," said Robins.
"It's against Yorkshire rivals, a team up there who will be well backed on the day, and we have to produce the right response to it.
"We have to take Tuesday night on the chin and come back from it. There were reasons for the other night but, at the same time, you need to put on a performance."
Robins will wait for a fitness test on skipper Pablo Mills who came off with a stomach strain on Tuesday.
"Hopefully he'll be okay but he will know best whether he's okay or not," said Robins.
Mills is in the running for the PFA Fans' Player of the Month award for November and is one of four candidates along with Bradford City's flying winger, Omar Daley.
Missing will be Reuben Reid who serves a one-match ban for picking up a fifth booking of the season at Gillingham last Saturday. Robins has to decide whether to bring someone into that role or have a slight tweak of formation.
