Bradford City and Rotherham United player ratings: Ex-Miller gets top marks as one low grade proves costly for visitors

Bradford City

Walker: Protected well enough. 6

Pennington: Brilliant header for his maiden City goal and made a key block straightafter. On-message. 7

Baldwin: Back in the middle and stayed strong. 7

Tilt: Very imposing against an old club. 8

Neufville: One or two moments, including one brilliant second-half weaving run. 6

Metcalfe: Not as vintage as of late, but did go close with a trademark swerving strike and clipped the bar with a sweet free-kick. 6

Power: Back on deck and quick-thinking led to opener. Typically orderly. 7

T Wright: Super cross for Pennington’s breakthrough. Grafted. 6

Sarcevic: Got more into it as first half progressed. 6

Pointon: Moments of animation, but quiet by his standards on home soil. 6

Jackson: Came off second best in a challenge and was forced off. Shame as he was looking the part. 7

Substitutes: Wheatley (Jackson 23). Plenty of running power, but needs a goal. Subbed after coming on. 6

Humphrys (Wheatley 74).

Not used: Hilton, Touray, T Wright, Evans, Mullin.

Rotherham United

Cann: Overcame early nerves on his big night. Kicking was decent. 6

Rafferty: Came through a test of character after Saturday. 6

Adegboyega: Showed his pace on occasions. Good partnership with Baptiste. 7

Baptiste: Made one key block to deny Jackson. Did pretty well. 7

James: Showed his experience. 6

Yearwood: Restored to the starting line-up. Competitive and energetic before being forced off early in second half. 6

Spence: Wasn’t fazed. But came off at the break. 6

Cover: Big costly switch off for City’s goal. 5

Benson: Busy and bright in the first half especially. Tried to make things happen, even if the execution wasn’t always there. 6

Gray: Denied by a saving challenge early on. Did not get too much change out of Pennington or see too much of the ball. 6

Nombe: Kept under lock and key by City defence. 6

Substitutes: Watmore (Spence HT) 6.

Kelly (Yearwood 54) 6.

Martha (Cover 73) 6.

Biancheri (Benson 86)

Agbaire (Adegboyega 87)

Not used: Dawson, Sousa.
