What do we know about Rotherham? (pron: Rov-rum)

[ellafella]

1. Their manager is Steve Evans. He managed Crawley when they beat us in the F.A. Cup. He wasn’t a big fan of NC and was not the most magnanimous person in victory. Some say he’s not very gentle.

2. They were promoted through the playoffs after beating Orient on penalties after a 2-2 draw at Wembley. In fact they have achieved successive promotions over the last 2 seasons.

3. They have former Rams Ben Pringle & Paul Green in their midfield. And former Tree Hugger Matt Derbyshire.

4. They have recruited no fewer than 10 new players during the close season. Their manager has bought players who seem to have a point to prove in one way or another and are a blend of seasoned Championship (eg Green, Derbyshire) and young didn’t- quite- make-its (eg Jordan Bowery, 22 from Aston Villa, their record signing at around £200k)

5. They are nicknamed “The Millers”.

6. Given the freshness of their newly-assembled squad, and their manager’s predilection both for having a point to prove and being

[Really]

They are also close it appears to signing Steve May from Scotland.

On another note they have had two successive promotions and still expect to field a few original players. The jump from league 1 to championship is far greater imo than league 2 to league 1.

If we score first they are in trouble.

I prefer to think of it as being in exile from Derbyshire.

Thanks Whacker. I think it could be a regular feature. We might have some fun when it comes to playing the Red Dogs.

I think it will be a very hard game.

Looking forward to seeing Pringle and Green again. Though should be able to beat them.
