Interview with an Away Fan - Rotherham United [A] 17/10/14

Tickets for the game are sold out

By Russ Vernon

Rotherham have only picked up 12 points from 11 games so far this season where do you think the problem has been for the Millers?

I think the problem is the lack of strike force in that we have revell Bowery and Derbyshire. Erm we did have Becchio as u all know from his days at Leeds who was playing a pivotal part in our up turn in form.

With the players Rotherham have signed how do you think the Millers will fare this season?

I think the millers if we can get a settled strike force together instead of changing the team every game. I personally think we can finish mid table perhaps where we are now.

Which Rotherham United player do you think Leeds should look out for and why?

I’d say Greeny (Paul Green) as he has been exceptional for us when he has played for us.

What is your favourite fixture between Leeds and the Millers?

I’d say the favourite game between the Millers and Leeds is the one at Millmoor when the Millers won 1-0 with Macca (Martin McIntosh) getting the goal in front of the Railway End (Away Stand) as we were totally under the cosh in game Leeds hit the cross bar and post several times.

If the Millers could sign any of this season’s Leeds team who would it be?

Personally I don’t think I would sign anyone from Leeds that’s no disrespect to Leeds United.

Tell us a bit about yourself, how long have you supported Rotherham United?

I have supported the Millers since I was 10 years old had a season ticket in the Millmoor Lane end of Millmoor for 5 years when I was at School. Was gutted when we had to move to Don Valley for 4 years but I think it’s the best thing that happened for the club otherwise we wouldn’t be at New York now. The ground has brought the town back to the club and probably the reason we got back to back promotions

Whats your thoughts on Millers boss Steve Evans?

Steve Evans was a split choice between the fans as a lot didn’t want him due to his links to fraud but I always said judge him on results and he has done a fantastic job at the club. I think 17th is a great return given we got promoted last May .

If you had to choose the first goalscorer for the game who would it be?

First goal scorer would probably be for Rotherham and Bowery will score first

Prediction for the game?

It’ll be a tight game but it will be one goal that separates the teams I’d settle for a draw but I think we can win it

Anything Else you would like to add?

Great talking to you and may the best team win and no trouble before and after the game let the football do the talking

Thanks to Steph Jennings for taking some out to answer the questions ahead of the game.
