Squad

Real improvement from Alexei Rojas Fedorushchenko at Rotherham United

Form comes and goes; this has not gone. Alexei Rojas Fedorushchenko is 21, and the version of him training now would not have got into the side he was in a year ago.

Squad

David Edwards: that is not what I was promised

“Things were said to me before I signed. I am not going to repeat them, but I remember all of them.” Rotherham United have not answered, which is an answer of sorts.

Market

Brandon Cover is on his way

The clubs have agreed terms, and what remains is formality: a medical, a photograph, a signature. Nobody at Rotherham United is pretending he will be back in the shirt.

Boardroom

Brandon Cover signs for Birmingham while still at Rotherham United

The rules permit it and it stings anyway. Brandon Cover has agreed terms with Birmingham for the summer, and until then he pulls on this shirt as a player who has already chosen his next one.

Squad

Duncan Watmore in a row with a teammate

It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at Rotherham United this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad

Words at Rotherham United training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Rayan Aït-Nouri is at the centre of it, and the squad will now find out whether the standard rises or the pair of them simply stop speaking.

The terraces

The crowd has taken to Daniel Gore

At 22 he is being sung about by people twice his age, which is an affection a signing has to earn over years and a local kid gets for turning up. It is also the hardest thing in football to live up to.

Match

Rotherham United see off Milton Keynes Dons

Three points for Rotherham United, 2‑0 the final word against Milton Keynes Dons in a contest settled by the finer margins.

Player ratings

A masterclass from Daniel Gore

Marked 8.30 — the sort of number a correspondent writes down twice to be sure. Everything he tried came off, and what he did not try was not worth trying.

From our football correspondent Upbeat

Match

Rotherham United leave it late against Reading

Ninety minutes of very little, and then everything at once. The winner arrived in the 85th, and Reading spent what remained of the match appealing to the referee rather than chasing the ball.

Player ratings

Gabriele Biancheri, 20, plays like he has been here for years — 7.65

A mark of 7.65 means one thing beside a twenty-nine-year-old's name and something else entirely beside a 20-year-old's. Nobody at the ground needed telling which this was.

Squad

David Edwards: that is not what I was promised

“Things were said to me before I signed. I am not going to repeat them, but I remember all of them.” Rotherham United have not answered, which is an answer of sorts.

Squad

Tempers go at Rotherham United

Rayan Aït-Nouri was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.

Squad

Home is on Nahuel Cáceres's mind

“Some mornings you wake up and you are still a long way from everything you know.” It is not the football and it never was; Rotherham United are dealing with a man who wants a different country.

Squad

Rayan Aït-Nouri gets it from the manager

“Nobody here is above being told.” It was not said with a name attached, but the dressing room can count, and so can everybody who was listening.

The terraces

Rotherham United supporters have found a favourite in Gabriele Biancheri

There is a particular warmth a ground reserves for a 20-year-old it feels ownership of. Gabriele Biancheri has it now, and everything he does for the rest of his time here will be measured against the goodwill he was handed for free.

Match

Rotherham United find a way past Reading

Reading made Rotherham United work for it, but the scoreboard read 1‑0 at the end and the table does not ask how.

Player ratings

Nobody could get near Ar'jany Martha

Successful dribbles: 15. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

From our football correspondent Uneasy

Squad

Cameron Dawson keeps Rotherham United in it on his own

Some afternoons a goalkeeper is the team. 6 saves, several of them the sort nobody expects to see stopped, and a scoreline that flatters everybody in front of him.

Squad

Jack Holmes gets the move he always wanted

Footballers are asked about their boyhood club so often that nobody listens to the answer. Jack Holmes has just signed for Rotherham United, and for once the answer mattered.

Squad

Tempers go at Rotherham United

Duncan Watmore was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.

Market

Jack Holmes is a Rotherham United player again

He left as a boy and has come back still knowing where the away end is. Most signings have to be explained to a town; this one needed a photograph and nothing else.

Boardroom

Graduation day at Rotherham United

4 boys move up, and somewhere in the building the people who coached them at twelve are quietly having the best morning of their working year. Nothing about this shows up in a result and it is why the academy exists.

Squad

Words at Rotherham United training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Josh Benson is at the centre of it, and the squad will now find out whether the standard rises or the pair of them simply stop speaking.

Market

Rotherham United promote Simon Clarke from within

The academy exists for exactly this morning. Simon Clarke has come through every age group the club runs and has now been handed a senior number, and the people who coached him at twelve will be the proudest in the building.

Market

One of our own: David Edwards joins the Rotherham United first team

Clubs spend fortunes looking for players and occasionally find one down the corridor. David Edwards is that, and the reception he gets on his first appearance will be different in kind from the one any signing receives.

One of our own: Stephen Harris joins the Rotherham United first team

Clubs spend fortunes looking for players and occasionally find one down the corridor. Stephen Harris is that, and the reception he gets on his first appearance will be different in kind from the one any signing receives.
