12. Deflection Tactics
With two games left, Rotherhamβs squad gear up for one last push as they hunt promotion. Paul Warneβs side need just three more points to reach the Championship.
There are two games left in Rotherhamβs season and manager Paul Warne knows he needs a single win for his side to be guaranteed promotion to the Championship. But his team must travel to playoff-chasing Sunderland for a difficult Tuesday night fixture, which fills the manager with self-doubt. Not only that, he has to deal with the fallout from one of his players handing in a transfer request.
Warneβs emotions are contrasted with those of his captain Richard Wood. In the late autumn of his career, βWoodyβ discusses what the manager means to him personally, and how difficult it would be for the club if he were to walk away in the summer.
Ninety minutes before kick-off, the wives of the Rotherham coaches β Kerry Hamshaw, Tracy Barker and Rachel Warne β get together to talk about what itβs like to be married to a manager/coach, and how it affects their families because of the pressures of the job. The trio then watch on as The Millers and the Black Cats battle for a vital three points at the imposing Stadium of Light.
