Rotherham United form and stats

Let's have a look at how Rotherham United performed last season in the League One: They landed a 2nd position in the league table after playing out 27 victories, 9 draws and 10 defeats. In total they scored 70 and conceded 33 goals in these matches. The numbers for away games only are: Won 12 - drew 6 and lost 5 with 27/11 goals scored/conceded.

Rotherham United's last game ended in a draw, the home match versus Swansea City that finished 1-1. Ogbene, attacking player, was the top performer on the team in that game, scoring a match rating of 7.44. Ogbene scored one goal, hit two key passes and dribled past the opponent 2 of 3 times.

Preceding that game was the away League One victory against Gillingham with the score of 2-0.

There might be some complaints about the fixture list from the Rotherham manager Warne as the team has another away game coming up in only three days, this time against Port Vale.
