Football writer Leon Wobschall was at Valley Parade and analysed each player's performance.

Colin Doyle. Overcame some dodgy early moments to re-compose himself and did his bit to claim a welcome clean sight. 7

Tony McMahon. Supplied the centre for the all-important goal. A savvy, experienced performance. 7

Nathaniel Knight-Percival. An assured afternoon. Kept dangerman Moore quiet and was authoritative all game. 8

Matt Kilgallon. A quite brilliant clearance to deny the Millers a certain goal in the first half. Continued his fine season so far. 8

Adam Chicksen. Produced some dangerous moments down the left and was tenacious at the break on his return. 7

Alex Gilliead. Showed some nifty footwork at times, although his final option was not always the best. 7

Romain Vincelot. Got the key goal and continued his purple patch in front of goal. 7

Jake Reeves. Got through plenty of work, but with the ball at his feet, it didn't always come off. 6

Nicky Law. A stumble ensured that he couldn't fire home in the second half against his former club. Steady away and kept involved. 7

Dominic Poleon. Spurned a good first half opportunity and has had better days. 5

Charlie Wyke. Not many sights of goal, but stood up well physically and competed well. 6

Substitutes: Patrick (Poleon 62), 6, Thompson (Law 81), 6.

Not used: Raeder, P Taylor, McCartan, Hendrie, Jones.
