Hull City win at Coventry to keep alive their Championship play-off bid,
Rotherham United are dead and buried in the Championship survival fight and had their status as a League One side next season confirmed earlier this month. Despite that, it came as a surprise to many that head coach Leam Richardson had ‘parted ways’ with the club along with his assistant Rob Kelly when the news was confirmed on Wednesday morning. The Millers have won only one game this year and have failed to score in three consecutive league defeats. What will concern Wednesday fans in the...
