The Millers have four more chances to avoid spending two years without a win on the road, two of which come in the next few days against Shrewsbury Town on Saturday and Cambridge United on Tuesday.

Rotherham has moved divisions every summer for the past eight years, with the exception of 2023. They were anticipated to contend for League One promotion this season, but with only six points from seven games, they are currently five points below the play-off spots.

The team’s next two matches against the division’s poorest starts present an opportunity to gain distance. However, they have not won away since visiting Sheffield United on November 8, 2022, making the task more difficult.

“This football club for two years has done nothing but lose football matches so the first thing you try and address as manager is to try and stop that wheel,” Evans pointed out. “You can’t simply reverse it.

“You must stop losing football games, which we have done, but it is more difficult to turn the wheel. That will arrive.

“Our recent performances and positive play in games against Huddersfield, Bristol Rovers, and Burton should result in three consecutive home wins.”Charlton (away) should have won, but we didn’t.

“My job is to ensure we keep confidence in the camp and we keep working hard.”
