RUFC - Moore 'we owe Shrimpers one'

Rotherham United Manager, Ronnie Moore says that the Millers owe Southend one after losing at Roots Hall earlier in the season.

'We were poor, really poor,' Moore told Radio Sheffield. 'It was Mark Randall's first game and he ends up breaking his collar bone but we weren't good and I'd just like to show Paul Sturrock that we are a decent side, though I'm sure that he realises that now.

'We owe them one and hopefully we can put that right on Saturday. It's actually difficult now winning your home games because teams come and play different systems with a lot of teams playing four-five-one and it's down to the home team to try and break that down. And you need some quality players and patience to break down a four-five-one.

'I don't think Southend will come here and have a pop at us, though I hope they do because that would open it up for us and give us a chance.

'The lad Grant, who I had on loan at Oldham, has scored a lot of goals but if we're committed like we have been in our last few homes games then we are a better team than Southend but we've got to go and prove it and I'm sure we'll do that.'
