Could Rotherham United make history on Saturday?

DEFEAT at Norwich on Saturday would leave Rotherham United with an unwanted record.

Since changing their name to Rotherham United in 1925 following a merger between Rotherham Town and Rotherham County, the club have lost their opening five away fixtures of a season on four occasions, including the current campaign.

Defeat at Carrow Road would be an unwanted sixth successive away loss, making it Rotherham United's worst away start.

The Millers lost five away games on the spin at the start of the 1936/37, 1981/82 and 1990/91 campaigns.

Alan Stubbs' men have matched that black mark already this term and will be hoping not to make history this weekend.

Rotherham County lost six successive away game at the start of the 1921/22 season, but that hasn't been matched since the club became known as Rotherham United.

Defender Joe Mattock and Stephen Kelly return to the ranks for the long trip to East Anglia but the game comes too early for long-term absentees Kirk Broadfoot and Aimen Belaid.

Loan man Tom Adeyemi will also be missing with a couple of niggles.
