Rotherham United form and stats

Rotherham United have collected 12 points from their Championship home games so far after 3-3-5.

Rotherham manager P. Warne and his team return home after a 0-0 draw away versus Middlesbrough (placed 7th) in the Championship. Preceding that game was the home draw versus Stoke City that ended 3-3.

The match schedule is unforgiving for Rotherham United as they have a new game in only three days, a Championship match thankfully also at home. Derby County are visiting.

The Rotherham United fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 15 in 11 matches. On the other hand, Rotherham have conceded 15 goals.
