Will West Brom 'rest' players?

We need to hit them hard early on, make sure they know they're in for a physical game. If they can't rest players we need to make them wish they could have done. We need to make them second guess going into tackles, going for second balls...etc. You know 100% their players will not want to be injured for the play-offs.

The recent new rules states they can't rest too many players. But nothing stops them playing most of their 1st choice players and them players not going at full pelt. Put yourself in their position, you've already qualified for the play offs and have possible 3 more matches to play. Well you don't want bookings, injuries to rule you out in a bigger game in less than a week away. The only thing in Westbrom's favour on Saturday, is they are under no pressure and can play a relaxed style of football. Lets hope they are too laid back on Sunday.

anyone who thinks Rotherham will easily lose to Middlesbrough then think again it was 0-0 at the riverside earlier in the season and Rotherham have been decent at home 

Boro will win. Not only that, I can see them turning up and notching a few to put up a real fight for 6th. Forest game aside, they have won 4 from their last 5.

Rotherham are without a clean sheet in 16 games, have conceded 2+ in 12 of them (including 7 of the last 8 ) and average 3 goals against per game in the past few matches.  Not including us hitting 6.  They are not the plucky side they were last October when they held Boro, who were in a run of only 2 wins from 8 at the time.

Not that goal difference will matter, we need to win Saturday or we won't finish 6th.

Other than that Bristol V Hull could go any way, both are in terrible form - I'd sit on the fence and say draw.
