Ratings: How Rotherham United players fared v Nottingham Forest

Rotherham United

Johansson: Made two excellent saves in each half to deny Knockaert and displayed some smart handling. Also produced a fine one-handed save to keep out Murray’s header - although the offside flag was raised. Looked solid and assured. 8

Olosunde: A night for doing the basics and did not have too much chance to bomb forward. Sacrificed for Ladapo. 5

Ihiekwe: A tenth booking of the seaosn means he must serve a two-match ban. 6

A MacDonald: Kept his discipline in the main, but he had his fellow defenders will have been upset with the concession. 6.

Robertson: Won his fair share of challenges in the air and tidy on the deck. Went close to a leveller. 7

Harding: Posed a threat with some long throws. Kept busy with Knockaert and Christie. 6

Wing: Not really a night to get the best out of him. Fired one first-half shot straight at Samba. 5

Barlaser: Could not dictate as he can in difficult conditions. 5

Wiles: Limited influence in the final third. But expended plenty of energy. 6

Crooks: Forest’s strong defence coped well with him. 6

M Smith: Almost nicked a leveller at the death when he hit the bar. Not too much joy from Forest’s excellent centre-halves. Booked. 6

Substitutes: Ladapo (Olosunde 66). Had the chances to find the net, but couldn’t take them. 6.

Sadlier (Wiles 80), 6; Giles (Barlaser 80), 6.

Not used: Blackman, Clarke, S MacDonald, Jozefzoon, Hirst.
