WHO ARE ROTHERHAM UNITED?

WHO IS MARK ROBINS?

LAST SEASON'S VIDEO

WHERE DO YOU THINK YOU'RE GOING?

Rotherham United one of the clubs who are in the select group the the Football League like to call the "They're skint so let's screw them over" group. At the time of writting, Rotherham United haven't been deducted any points but it seems only a matter of time before that happens, but I still think they can easily avoid relegated.

The reason for this is that the Millers do actually have a half decent squad. They have a squad that are capable of changing games and that statement might confuse you as to why I am predicting them to finish so low. My prediction has nothing to do with a potential points deduction but rather than the whole club is on a bit of a downer at the minute.

They've had to move from Millmoor into a stadium that wasn't designed for football and the atmosphere will certainly suffer. From my understanding of the placement of fans, all of the Rotherham fans are in one stand and the away fans are near enough opposite this. This will create a terrible atmosphere and this will certainly hinder the chances that Rotherham have.

I think that the midtable will be extremely tight this season, and despite my prediction of 20th, I feel that Rotherham United will comfortably avoid relegation, even if they do end up having that points deduction. I believe that Chester, Dagenham and Accrington are pure dross and this will mean that virtually no-one else will stand a realistic chance of going down.

This season is all about consolidation for Rotherham United. I think the off-the-field problems will certainly take their toll on-the-pitch, but they should still be able to create decent foundations for the 2009/10 season.
