Now there’s a new philosophy and a new optimism for everybody.” Had Rotherham not been docked 17 points at the start of the season they would be strong promotion candidates and they proved their potential by beating one of League Two’s front-runners. Robins said: “What we want to do at the end of the season is say that’s where we could have finished without the points penalty.
