Rotherham United Preview – Millers to crash to a fourth consecutive loss?
Paul Warne’s Rotherham United have dropped back into the bottom three after three successive defeats. Since wins over Derby County and Preston North End, the Millers have been beaten by Cardiff City, Bournemouth and Norwich City.
Rotherham have games in hand on the teams around them, but the Yorkshire club are two points adrift of safety after last weekend’s results. Overall this season, United have picked up a mere eight league wins, with just Wycombe Wanderers and Birmingham City securing fewer victories. Also, bottom side Wycombe are the only team to have suffered more defeats.
Rotherham have struggled at the New York Stadium this term, winning just four home league games. United have tasted victory on their own patch only twice since November. This will no doubt be another stern test for Warne and his boys.
Nottingham Forest Preview – Reds to leave Yorkshire with the points?
Since taking over at the City Ground, Chris Hughton has made Nottingham Forest hard to beat and tough to play against. The Reds do not lose many these days, with just Swansea City and Middlesbrough beating them since mid-December.
Nottingham Forest narrowly lost at Swansea in their previous away match, but Hughton’s troops had won three on the spin away from home in the Championship before then. In 2021, the East Midlands outfit have won five, drawn two and lost two of nine league encounters.
