The Millers, relegated from the Championship in 2024, endured an 11-match winless run in the league before successive victories over Northampton and Exeter at the end of January. Back-to-back defeats by Cardiff and Burton have seen them drop back into the relegation zone in a congested bottom half of the table. Hamshaw has said the club and fans need to be "united" as they look to avoid dropping down to League Two for the first time since 2013. Hamshaw added: "I've not seen many players turn around a massive performance in a negative atmosphere, that's not me saying anything about our fans that's just me being open and honest. "On the other side of that, if you get right behind them it has a massive impact."
