Coventry
(Preview)
Overall a good performance against a good Coventry side who have won their last three games. The last minute penalty was right in front of us and I've got to say in real time I thought it was one although looking at the highlights it perhaps wasnt so clear cut. Let's just say it's one of those 'seen them giv...

corruption in football
(Preview)
Don't know if any of you chaps have seen this or know much about this link. I just happened on this investigation into dirty money laundering through the buying and selling of British football clubs particularly in the Prem and Championship. Worth a watch and a reminder how lucky we are to have a chairm...

V Stoke

Another club that has changed a lot of personnel, including the manager, with O'Neill leaving and Alex Neil leaving Sunderland ( !) to come to stoke. Players like Fletcher, Joe Allen,Tom Ince,Benik afobe and Alfie Doughty have all left. They have brought in Adam Flint,Liam McCarron, Dwight Gayle a...

v Huddersfield
(Preview)
Huddersfield were one game away from reaching the premiership last season. It has all gone a bit pear shaped since then. Corberan the manager left close season along with a host of players including Toffolo, O'Brien and Pipa. Tight financial constraints were put in place and the next manager Schofi...

V Blackburn
(Preview)
We've played well first half. Some nice football and some opportunities created. Unlucky to be behind. I dont like to criticise referees but this guy is a joke. He has given them what has to be described as a soft penalty and every fifty fifty call has gone their way. Their centre back Ayala does nothing...

Matt Taylor Era Begins
(Preview)
The paperwork has thankfully been completed and we have a new manager for tomorrow's game. From his interview on Radio Sheffield, he sounds very much in the PW mode - intelligent, thoughtful and ambitious. Best of luck Matt and welcome to the rollercoaster that is Rotherham United. Onwards and upwa...

Failure to prepare

Fail to prepare, prepare to fail.
Derby had a good week under a new manager (our old one) to outline tactics / strategy / mentality. We’ve had a week under the club captain an experienced defender and a chap who was coming for a p!ss up in the corporate who ended up training the keepers.

(Preview)
Dean Holden - 2/1 Paul Hurst - 11/4 Gareth Ainsworth - 3/1 Mark Bonner - 5/1 Matt Taylor - 9/1 Richard Wood - 16/1 Dean Holden led the way for some time now and plenty of local journalists talking him up. Think he's probably the man.

Middlesbrough game
(Preview)
On the surface a great point away against a side full of expensive and highly rated players. However, i think it also showed how difficult it will be to keep the millers in this division. No shots on target in the whole game from us. Just no cutting edge in the final third with Washington offering very lit...

Deadline day

On the whole i think the recruitment has been as good as it can get with the budget available. I still think we are a forward short which is disappointing after the record investment talk pre season from TS.

The know it all moaners will be out in force no doubt because weve lost a match but we will lose a few. Move on regroup and on to the n...

Maybe we have missed out on a bit of revenue but looking at the teams everyone pu...

So it won't be easy and they w...

It's going to be a hot affair down at NYS today. Drinks breaks inevitable - for the crowd as well! We may be thin (thinner) up front if Washington is out after coming off at Port Vale. Perhaps a start for Kelly and a continuation of his Roy of the Rovers RUFC career so far. With all the talk of rejection by a po...

Just heard Neil Hague has passed away aged 72, I was a lad about 15ish and
still at school when he was a player and don't recall too much about him except he was a grafter and being a Rotherham lad gave a good account of himself. I 'm not sure when he left and off hand where he went to but it must have been in the e...

Mikel Miller the first out the door. Reported his injury issues harmed his chances of another deal. Shame really he was one of our better more consistent players when fit and we've carried players with much worse injury records in the past. Good luck to him.

This for one minute isn't about the actual pre season games, they are what they are.

The playing staff must share th...

I'm not sure the club can take the blame for the Smith / Icky situation as i know a few will be thinking here we go again / typical millers.
