At the start of the season, many fans would have predicted Rotherham to be the first team relegated to League One, but they have proved people wrong with some eye-opening performances. 

Former Rotherham player Paul Warne is in charge of the team and his side are currently sat 19th in the Championship table after 12 league matches.

But the Millers have struggled for form in recent games and are without a win in five league matches in a run that Warne will be desperate for his side to turn around, after the international break.

They have beaten the likes of Derby County, Millwall and Wigan at home this season and their home form will be vital if they are to maintain their status as a Championship club this season.

They are yet to win a game away from home this season and have only managed to score twice on their travels so that poor away form will need addressing at the earliest of opportunities.

But according to statistics, who has been the Millers' best player this season?

The QPR loanee has made ten appearances for the club since his move during the summer and is the clubs top goalscorer with two goals to his name.

Manning also has an assist this season and with an average of 27 passes made per game. Only his team mate Will Vaulks has attempted more passes in a Rotherham shirt this season.

The striker arrived from Bury in January and recently signed a new deal with the Millers after making 11 starts for the Championship side this season.

The 26-year-old has won an average of 7.6 aerial duals per game which is the most won by any Rotherham player and Smith is considered a vital member of the squad and will play an important part if Rotherham are to survive this year.

The 25-year-old midfielder has played in every game of Rotherham's league campaign this season and will continue to feature under Paul Warne this year.

Vaulks attempts the most passes in the Rotherham side by some distance with an average of 39 each game.

The central midfielder also makes a good contribution defensively as well, making an average of two tackles and three clearances per game.
