The Millers headed into this weekend with fewer wins (three) and fewer points (19) than any other team in the EFL – a record that placed the club 14 points adrift of a position of safety at the foot of the Championship.
But the South Yorkshire outfit pushed promotion hopefuls Ipswich all the way before succumbing in stoppage time during a seven-goal thriller at Portman Road on Tuesday night.
That followed an ill-deserved 1-0 home defeat to Watford last weekend, in which the Hornets converted their only on-target attempt.
Rotherham’s victories this term, meanwhile, have come against play-off challengers Coventry and Norwich, as well as Middlesbrough on Boxing Day when Michael Carrick’s men were strong top-six contenders.
Competitive
It might be clutching at straws but, with ten draws and nine odd-goal defeats too, Rotherham could legitimately claim they had been competitive in two-thirds of their contests prior to this weekend.
