The Rotherham United Courier
Squad20 Sep 2032
A knee injury of the worst kind for Mike Vestergård
92 days on the estimate, and a long, private, unglamorous year of a rehabilitation nobody watches. Rotherham United lose a footballer; he loses considerably more than a season.
Match15 Sep 2032
Rotherham United through in the cup
A 2‑1 win over Bradford City, and the draw for the next round can be watched with some interest for once.

What a way to start for Daniel Owoade — 8.01
1 on the scoresheet on his first appearance and a mark of 8.01 beside it. Most debuts are got through; this one was enjoyed, by him and by everybody watching it.

Adam Clark, 20, plays like he has been here for years — 7.76
A mark of 7.76 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.

Pedrão puts it in writing
“This is not anger. I have thought about it for months, and nothing that has happened lately changed my mind.” The request is on a desk at Rotherham United, and it is not being withdrawn.

A falling-out at Rotherham United
Denzel Hall and a teammate went at it, and not about football. Training grounds are small places and a long season makes them smaller.
Match18 Sep 2032
Rotherham United come up short against Birmingham
Birmingham left with the points after a 1‑2 defeat that will take some explaining on the terraces.
Transfer targets20 Sep 2032
The window shuts on the Virgil van Dijk deal
Rotherham United ran out of time with Liverpool. The paperwork was open when the deadline passed, and a transfer that was almost done is now a transfer that never happened.
The terraces20 Sep 2032
The crowd has taken to Daniel Owoade
At 23 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.
In brief
- The dugout No hiding place for Denzel Hall
- Squad Benjamin Smith out for 26 days
- Squad A row about effort at Rotherham United
