Things are looking up for Rotherham after the previous meeting only a few weeks ago 7 points out of a possible 9 see the Millers only one place out of the play-offs and the potential to challenge for a promotion spot over the season. Most of you will be aware of their plight last season after been docked the now obligatory ten points after going into administration Rotherham clawed their way back out of the relegation places to the wonderment of many before forgetting to finish the season off and plunging back down and finally been relegated to the bottom tier of the Football League. Manager Mark Robins (left) is experiencing his first spell as a manager after being appointed in March of this year to replace Alan Knill. Knill had first taken over from the cult figure of Ronnie Moore who had inspired a Buckleyesque climb of the Football League before leaving back in 2005, after which Knill took a brief spell in charge followed by former Forest manager Mick Harford with his departure followed by Knill's full chance of management, which failed in March.
Mark Robins (above) have tried his best to convert a team ready to bounce right back to league one at the first time of asking. It’s so far so good as they tenth in the league and some promising performances under their belt it is defiantly something to build on in the early season period. Rotherham have some very bright and talented players coming through the ranks in Liam King, Stephen Brogan (left) and Chris O’Grady; it's these players which have helped Rotherham push forward this season and turn around their dreadful run over the last few seasons.
Chris O’Grady. The former Leicester City striker has an impressive past naming his highlight as scoring a penalty against Internazionale which is something different at this level. Otherwise the 21 year old has started his career brightly with an impressive resume at Leicester, Notts County Rushden and now Rotherham. O’Grady seems to have started the season in the same vein with 3 goals from seven and some impressive displays of maturity. The front man will be given the chance to lead the front line at the weekend after impressing in the last few games.
