Hide AdJack Walton, 6: Little chance with Ferguson's free-kick which hit the bar, which was a beauty. Tested aerially in the second half especially with Millwall forcing a few corners, but handled it ok.
Michael Sollbauer, 7: A steadying influence and his sound positional sense came to the fore. Has quickly become an important player for the Reds at the back and had one sniff of goal at the other end.
Mads Andersen, 7: Distribution a little mixed early on, but won his fair share as well and cleared his lines sensibly. Assertive and produced one fine saving second-half challenge.
Ben Williams, 6: Conceded a foul in a dangerous position in the first half and had one or two hairy moments. Typically tenacious and committed.

Hide AdKilian Ludewig, 6: Little chance to bomb forward in the first period, but showed plenty of energy in his defensive duties. Had a bit more opportunity to stretch his legs on the restart.
Romal Palmer, 6: Struggled to impose himself at times in first period, to be expected with a young professional making his home debut. Work rate could not be faulted.
Alex Mowatt, 7: Attempted to drive Barnsley on and was at the heartbeat as ever. Went close early in the second half.
Marcel Ritzmaier, 5: Will have wanted to be involved more and could have few complaints after making way on the hour.

Hide AdCauley Woodrow, 6: Went closest for the Reds in the opening 45 minutes with a well-struck free-kick. Did not hit the heights he can, but more involved on the restart.
Jacob Brown, 6: Would have craved the ball a bit earlier in order to attack Millwall's big defenders down the sides. Typically strong work-rate.
Elliot Simoes, 5: Quiet and did not receive much change from Millwall's experienced midfield as the game passed him by a touch. A learning curve for the youngster still. Replaced at half-time.
Substitutes: Conor Chaplin (Simoes 45), 6.
Callum Styles (Ritzmaier 60), 6.
Luke Thomas (Woodrow 76), 6.
Not used: Brad Collins, Jordan Williams, Mike Bahre, Patrick Schmidt, Clarke Oduor, Aapo Halme.
