Team news
Knott back for Dons Billy Knott returns to the AFC Wimbledon squad for the visit of Rotherham.
The on-loan Sunderland youngster missed last weekend's 2-1 defeat at Accrington with a knee injury but resumed training on Monday and could go straight back into the starting line-up.
However, fellow midfielder Sammy Moore is still suspended after collecting 10 bookings for the season.
Striker Jason Prior could be added to the squad after coming through a reserve outing in midweek.
Prior has managed just one substitute appearance since joining the Dons in January due to a knee problem.
Callum McNaughton is out for the season with a cruciate injury while fellow centre-back Pim Balkestein plays the final game of his loan spell from Brentford.
Rotherham will still be without defender Michael Raynes.
The centre-half missed last week's 1-0 victory over Hereford with a hamstring injury which he is still recovering from so Ryan Cresswell will continue alongside Johnny Mullins.
Caretaker manager Darren Patterson will therefore pick from the same squad as last weekend and looks set to name the same side.
Veteran Richard Naylor and fellow defender Luke Foster (both knee) continue to occupy the treatment room and will not feature again this term.
The trip to Kingsmeadow will be Patterson's fourth game in charge and he is enjoying his temporary stint at the helm while the Millers search for a permanent successor to Andy Scott.
AFC Wimbledon vs Rotherham
Last modified 18:02 06/04/12
Super-sub Sam on song for Millers Substitute Sam Hoskins netted the winner within two minutes of coming on as Rotherham kept alive their slim play-off hopes with a 2-1 victory over AFC Wimbledon.
The Millers travelled to London effectively needing to win all of their remaining six fixtures to break into the top seven and Ben Pringle set them on their way after 34 minutes.
Luke Moore thought he had secured the Dons a point 20 minutes after the break but Hoskins, who replaced Pringle in the 81st minute, had other ideas as he netted the winner moments later.
Lewis Grabban and Gareth Evans both had chances to put Rotherham ahead - the former firing straight at Jack Turner early on and the latter somehow failing to connect after 25 minutes.
George Moncur turned and shot wide in response for the hosts but the Millers deservedly took the lead 11 minutes before the break when Pringle's low drive from 35 yards beat Turner.
