    Yep, Paul Warne did use the word 'Giggedy' in that last sentence...

    Millers manager Paul Warne is hoping things don't click for Stoke at the New York stadium today.

    "All teams in this league this season look susceptible to conceding goals but they all look like scoring too - ourselves included," he said.

    "Although Stoke haven't had the best time they're not losing that many games and I just hope they don't get their full giggedy on for Saturday."

  7. No complacency - Rowettpublished at 17:20 British Summer Time 29 September 2018

    Rotherham may have only squeezed into this season's Championship via the play-offs, but Stoke boss Gary Rowett says his side won't take the team directly below them in the table lightly.

    “I would certainly hope our players won’t take the game lightly in any way,” he said.

    “We’ve now played Wigan and Blackburn and they were both at home where we’ve been 3-0 down at one point against both sides, so we can’t be complacent against another promoted side.

    “They will scrap for absolutely everything; they’ll put us under pressure and will try to force us into making mistakes like other teams have done."
