All Change at Oakwell

As if Rotherham couldn’t get any more depressed, it was today announced that the Town’s football club have lost their manager to Barnsley, their South Yorkshire rivals. This Barnsley fan thinks that it’s a good appointment, and I’m inclined to agree: Robins comes off the back of a successful couple of years at the troubled Millers, and I’m sure that he’ll have a positive effect. His knowledge of the lower leagues should be key for a side with limited spending power, and he’ll be respected for what he achieved as a player. People will inevitably speculate on which Rotherham players will follow Robins to Oakwell, and the delightfully named Adam Le Fondre will be at the top of that list; having only signed for Rotherham in the summer, the young marksman has already spoken out at his disappointment to see Robins depart.
