The significance of the Sheffield Wednesday derby to Sean Morrison, the captain of Rotherham United

The center-half fully acknowledges that Saturday’s match at AESSEAL New York Stadium is a chance to shine some light on the gloom that has been hanging over S60. “It’s going to be a huge game, it’s going to be a sell-out,” he said. “Wednesday are going to bring a load of fans over.” The Millers are almost certainly relegated from the Championship heading into the South Yorkshire showdown with their rivals from across the Parkway who are also in the drop zone.

The captain was alluding to the string of six straight losses in which Rotherham has occasionally flirted with victory but ultimately failed to secure a favorable score.
Morrison, who turned 33 last month, has undoubtedly been the Millers’ best outfield player since he was able to fully recover from his chronic injury issues, which he initially had with Cardiff City and then continued at his new team.

When he was still getting back on his feet and trying to earn a regular spot in the first team, he was a member of the team that endured the humiliation of a crushing 2-0 loss at Hillsborough last October.

“I feel like I’m back to my best as a player now, compared to five or six months ago.”

After 11 games without a win since Boxing Day, Rotherham has only managed three wins this season, having started the season under Matt Taylor before Leam Richardson took over in December.

Morrison says the camp needs a few wins between now and May to get momentum before the new season gets ready to start.

He declared, “It’s really important for the team, the supporters, and the head coach.” “Next year, the head coach and a few of the boys here will probably be back as well,” the coach said. You don’t put in so much effort every week just to show up on a Saturday and fall short of the match. We want to put points on the board and win games. We will not give up on doing that.

A victory over the Owls, who have won three of their previous four games to get within three points, would be the sweetest of all.

He has two goals in thirty Millers games, so it’s about time for him to add another to the record. He smiled, “It would be very nice to pop one in on Saturday.” The 6′ 4in defender, who is renowned for his tough style, has an additional goal.

“I would not mind giving a kick to my friends who play for Wednesday!”
