No team defines the saying 'yo-yo club' as literally as Rotherham United, but the Millers are defying expectations this season. Paul Warne's side last spent consecutive campaigns in the Championship between 2014 and 2016 before six years of promotion turning to instant relegation the following season. But an astonishingly formidable start in their opening fixtures has changed the outlook on Rotherham's prospects, with many tipping the Yorkshire outfit to struggle because, in all fairness, that is usually the case.

The Story So Far at Rotherham

Eleven players departed the club during the summer, including the experienced pair of Michael Smith and Michael Ihiekwe, alongside talented striker Freddie Ladapo, leaving Warne with a rebuilding job. The Millers recruitment team set about improving the team for the strains of the second tier and signed ten players to bolster the squad.

An opening clash against Russell Martin's Swansea City provided a stern test for a Rotherham side including three debutants starting and four on the bench. Chiedozie Ogbene gave the Millers a first-half lead after flicking Wes Harding's long-throw past Andy Fisher, and they may have taken all three points if it was not for Harry Darling's accurate strike.
