Rotherham United head into their next Championship fixture of the season against Huddersfield Town sitting comfortably in mid-table after three matches.
However, the Millers are just one point above their next opponents, whose opening goal of the campaign against Nottingham Forest last week led to their first win under Carlos Corberan.
Match preview
After replacing Danny Cowley in the Huddersfield dugout, Corberan has watched his side struggle to adapt to a change in philosophy at the John Smith's Stadium.
However, there will be hope that the 1-0 win over Nottingham Forest can help the club turn the corner, particularly in the final third where they have barely made an impact.
Fraizer Campbell's strike against the East Midlands outfit has catapulted the Terriers up to 17th spot in the table, ahead of six teams who are still waiting for their first success.
That fact that a quarter of the teams in the second tier have still not recorded a win suggests that Corberan should arguably be cut some slack as he settles into the biggest job of his career.
Nevertheless, the Huddersfield board have shown in the past that they are not scared to make managerial changes, history which will keep Corberan on his toes as he looks to turn his side into challengers for the playoffs.
As far as Rotherham are concerned, they have quietly gone about their business, collecting four points from fixtures against Wycombe Wanderers, Millwall and Birmingham City.
Their return would have been even better had they not conceded a late spot kick at St Andrew's last weekend, something which occurred just seconds after they had converted one of their own.
The turn of events in the West Midlands would have left Paul Warne with mixed feelings, although he will have few complaints with a four-point gap already being established above the relegation zone.
With Rotherham possessing a 0.68 points-per-game ratio from their last two seasons in the second tier, Warne will be aware of the importance of maintaining one of the best defensive records in the division over the long term.
As it stands, the home side have conceded just twice in three outings, leaving them with the joint-seventh best effort of the 24 teams.

Team News
Warne is likely to keep changes to a minimum after last weekend's performance at Birmingham.
Michael Smith could be drafted back into the attack at the expense of George Hirst.
While Corberan is expected to adopt a similar approach when selecting his Huddersfield side, he will have to take the fitness of important players into consideration.
Jonathan Hogg sustained a minor knock last week, one which forced his withdrawal against Forest, while Christopher Schinder could be back in contention after a hamstring injury.
Rotherham United possible starting lineup:
Blackman; Harding, Ihiekwe, MacDonald, Jones; Ogbene, MacDonald, Wiles, Miller; Crooks; Smith
Huddersfield Town possible starting lineup:
Hamer; Pipa, Stearman, Crichlow, Toffolo; Bacuna, Eiting; Mbenza, Pritchard, Koroma; Campbell
We say: Rotherham United 1-1 Huddersfield Town
Everything points to this encounter being a war of attrition over a goalfest. Taking their respective records in the final third into consideration, we expect these sides to cancel each other out in a low-scoring game in Yorkshire.
