Andy Scott’s men are top of the nascent table after two wins from two and head to second-bottom Crewe Alexandra tonight looking to strengthen that position.

“It is appreciated that it is very, very early days, just two league games into the season, but you have to say that the signs are very encouraging,” said Stewart.

“Throughout the club we have a determination to succeed. We have ambitious individuals in key areas that are infectious to others and the end result is a very unified workforce – both on and off the pitch.”

Millers striker Gareth Evans, who scored twice on his full debut at Plymouth, began as a trainee at Gresty Road.
