Neil Warnock worked wonders as he kept Rotherham up against the odds last season. The Millers appeared down and with two thirds of the season gone but Warnock's ability to get the best out of his sides worked miracles again as Rotherham survived. But Warnock opted not to stay with the club and instead Alan Stubbs has taken over. He has helped released a number of members of a large squad and also made changes in midfield with the arrivals of Will Vaulks from Falkirk along with Anthony Forde and Jake Forster-Caskey. Rotherham would appear lightweight up-front especially now Matt Derbyshire has left. Given the size of Rotherham, survival will be the only aim but it could be a difficult task for Stubbs.

Target

The aim will just be to stay in the Championship.
