Andersen: Has his difficulties against a Rotherham side who asked a number of questions. 6

Brittain: Made a brilliant last-ditch challenge to save a certain goal and went close with a piledriver. 7

Halme: Won his fair share of challenges in the air and it was easy to see why he started. 7

Lindsay: Got through plenty of heavy work in the midfield. 7

S MacDonald: Booked in the first half. Kept going. 6
