How the Championship table looks for Rotherham United based only on results under Matt Taylor
The Millers boss took charge in South Yorkshire at the beginning of October as he replaced Paul Warne who had joined Derby County in September.
Rotherham head into the Championship break for the World Cup in Qatar with 26 points from their first 21 games. They are three points above the relegation zone and five points adrift of the top six.

Taylor reflected afterwards: “It probably tells you how far we’ve come that we’re disappointed with the draw. We’re getting closer to the side I want us to be, and getting stronger as you can see a few draining in games, but we’ve had a relentless run.
“There are some tired bodies and we need some more strength in depth. I thought we were really positive, put pressure on the ball, scored early, a good goal and then kept the opposition at arms length for the majority of the first half.”
With Taylor now given a mini pre-season before the Millers’ return to action against Bristol City on December 10, we looked at how the Championship table would stand based only on Taylor’s time in charge.
