Cann, 22, has yet to start a game for the Millers since arriving from Derby County over 12 months ago but is now the only threat to Warrington following the departure of Mark Oxley to Hull City.

Manager Mark Robins, whose side entertain Chester City today, said: "Steve needs to kick on from last season. The ingredients are all there – he just needs to sharpen one or two aspects of his game to put Andy under real pressure."

The Millers have taken maximum points from the opening two games of the season but are still on minus eleven after being penalised by the Football League for breaking rules exiting administration.

Today's opponents Chester have endured a nightmare start to the season, losing three consecutive games and conceding 13 goals in the process.

However, the penalties imposed on the Millers, Bournemouth, and Luton Town, mean they still have plenty of time to improve before the threat of relegation becomes too serious.

Lincoln City chairman Steff Wright is angry that these points deductions will take the competitive edge out of League Two this season.
