After spending just one season back in the Championship, Rotherham United found themselves back in the third tier confident that they could - once again - secure an instant return.

Going into the current break, the Millers find themselves handily placed for one of the two automatic promotion spots, sitting second in the table, five points shy of leaders Coventry City and having played a game more, while - more importantly - two points clear of a busy chasing pack with 11 games remaining. 

YP chief football writer Stuart Rayner joins Phil Harrison to discuss the season so far for Paul Warne’s side and what is realistically achievable whenever the campaign does resume.

Having agonisingly missed out on reaching the League One playoff final last year, hopes will have been high for Doncaster Rovers being in the promotion mix once again this time around.

A change of coach saw Darren Moore return to his former club to succeed Grant McCann and, as the break continues due to the coronavirus pandemic, Rovers are well-placed in the standings, sitting ninth and five points outside the top six with 12 games remaining and games in hand on some of their higher-placed rivals. Stuart Rayner joins Phil Harrison to assess the season so far and what could lie in store for Moore and his team when the action finally gets underway once again.

DESPITE the optimism that prevailed at the start of the 2019-20 campaign for an instant return to League One for Bradford City, it has turned out to be a frustrating period.

The Bantams, under Gary Bowyer were expected to be pushing for an automatic promotion spot but, with nine games remaining at the point where the season is on hold due to the coronavirus pandemic, City - with familiar face Stuart McCall back in the dugout - find themselves four points outside the playoff spots.
