Rotherham United’s form and position is an ‘oxymoron’ says Paul Warne after thumping win over Middlesbrough

Rotherham’s 3-0 win lifted them to within two points of safety, and they still have two games in hand on Derby, who are a place above them in the table.

A justifiably satisfied Warne claims his side’s impressive display was merely a continuation of the impressive form they have been displaying since Christmas.

Warne said: “The last six or seven games have been good. We beat Bristol City at home and played really well, then played really well away at Blackburn but lost in the last second of the game.

“We had the Everton game (in the FA Cup), and then since then we’ve had two wins and a draw and the lads are in a really good place.

“We’re playing a different way to how to we were playing at the start of the season, and the system we’re playing probably allows us to put our best players on the pitch.

“I’ve got players coming back from injury, but it’s weird, we’re playing the best that we’ve played, but we’re in the worst position that we’ve been in all season. It’s a real oxymoron.”
