This will be obviously a completely different game,  much more akin to the Cardiff game imo.  A club whose season is over and so the pressure off,  only playing for pride and not busting a gut to attack us but will take any gifts being handed out.

A while back they suffered back to back 5-0 defeats.  Since then determined not to be embarrassed further this season,  they seem to have decided to simply pull up the drawbridge.  After conceding 85 goals in 43 games this season (average of 2 per game)  they have let in just 8 since those double 5-0 thrashings in 6 games (just over 1 per game)  and at home have only conceded 4 in their last 5 home games,  I'm not expecting a goal glut.

Me neither. We don’t usually do too great at Rotherham* In “modern” times, we have only scored more than once 2 times in 10 games. 11 goals in 10 games to be exact.
Also the home 0-0 still leaves a nasty taste.
Last 10 league fixtures away to Rotherham:


07 Oct 1989 Division 3 L 5-1
09 Mar 1991 Division 3 D 1-1
13 Sep 1994 Division 2 D 1-1
13 Apr 2002 Division 1 D 2-2
22 Nov 2014 Championship W 0-1
13 Feb 2016 Championship D 0-0
14 Apr 2017 Championship D 1-1
22 Apr 2019 Championship W 1-3
18 Apr 2021 Championship W 0-1
27 Aug 2022 Championship L 2-0

(Previous matches were back in the 50’s/60’s)

At least we are unbeaten up there in April 😃 

*I might be biased, I was there in 89, 91 & 94. ‘Orrible little place as well.

[nosurrender]

Rotherham since 2012 have played at New York Stadium.They vacated the old Millmoor stadium in 2008,no longer being able to pay the rent !!!

[jazzzy786]

Surely we should beat these but it would be typical Blues to fcuk it up. It's an away game and we have been shocking away.
Lose or draw here and we are very likely back in the bottom 3. COYB don't let me down.

I'll go Rotherham 0 Blues 1 Miyoshi

[bluepeter]

I think we’ll stay up but I can see us screwing this one up, especially as I’m going to it! 2-0 Millers, Hugill FGS.

[bubba]

Sobering thought,  whilst Rotherham are poor,  they have lost less games at home than they have won and drawn,  11 won or drawn versus 10 lost. At the same time blues have the 2nd worst away record in the division,  winning 3,  drawing 3 and losing 15.

In 21 home games they have scored 19 goals compared to our 18 goals in 21 away games.

In those 21 home games they have conceded 26 goals,  in the same number of away games we have conceded 39 goals.

So Rotherham at home and us away both score approximately one goal per game as  an average.

However we on average concede 2 goals per away game on average compared to their 1.25 goals per game on average.

Which suggests we would score one goal our away average scoring 1 per game allied to their conceding at home on average 1.25 per game,

Whilst our average of conceding 2 per away game allied to their average scoring 1 per home home game suggests...

For full disclosure I will be predicting a blues win,  but based on the numbers we really shouldn't be surprised by a draw or even a defeat.

Also the same tactics may not be as successful against a Rotherham side that won't want to keep and pass the ball like Coventry.  As said I'll be going for a blues win,  but don't think it's a gimme by any means.  That said if our attitude matches what it was against Cov,  that will probably trump most of the above,  fingers crossed.

[royalblue]

Not going to be easy but I am hoping the momentum from the Coventry game plus our passionate traveling support will give us enough to get this one over the line. It is important that we do not go behind because I fear we will struggle to break down a dogged low block set up with something to defend.
Rotherham 0 Blues 2.
