Humphreys: Dike was a threat at times, but the defender stayed on message and was very good. 8

Wright: In the wars in the first half and the luckless defender had to hobble off, unfortunately. 7

Hjelde: Had to be alert against a class act in Wallace. Went close with a fiercely-struck shot. Showed real character and really enjoyed himself in second half in particular. 8

Coventry: His corners posed issues at times. Took one for the team with a booking early in the second half. 7

Lindsay: Operated in an advanced role – and seemed to relish it. Saw a good opportunity saved it in the first period on a day when he was responsible throughout. Resounding show 8

Ogbene: Went close after going solo in the second half when he struck a post and hit the bar late on. Customary aplomb and put his hand up amid a very good team performance. 8

Fosu: Spurned a golden chance to put the Millers ahead when he fired a rebound wastefully over. Got over it and emphatically fired home the clincher for United – his first goal for the club. 7

Ferguson: Went close in the first half and drifted about and caused issues for Albion. Set up Hugill’s second. 7

Hugill: Missed an absolute sitter against an old club early on and then gave away a penalty. And then he took over and showed immense character with a masterful performance – netting two goals. Bullied Albion’s backline. 8

Substitutes: Blackett (Wrighty 25). Answered the call when Wright went off early and was orderly. 7

Rathbone (Ferguson 65). Made his eagerly-awaited return from injury after being out since the end of February. 7

Odoffin (Lindsay 87).

Not used: Vickers, Bramall, Eaves, Kelly.
