The Millers played well without the win they needed, the Terriers did not, and are drifting in dangerous waters at the wrong end of the Championship.

Chief football writer Stuart Rayner assesses how the players did man for man.

Ryan Schofield – made a couple of good saves from Lewis Wing and was the busier goalkeeper 7

Ramani Edmonds-Green – a right-back in the first half, centre-back in the second 6

Richard Keogh – had a good shot saved in the first half and fdid his job defensively 6

Naby Sarr – looked fortunate to get away with a second-half shove on Richard Wood 5

Pipa – did not have much impact before a substitution which may have been pre-planned, given the Spaniard was returning from injury 6

Jonathan Hogg – did a good job helping out his defence 7

Lewis O'Brien – tried to provide a link between defence and attack 7

Juninho Bacuna – found wanting when quality was needed 5

Fraizer Campbell – there was a point in the first half when it looked like his link-up play with Yaya Sanogo could tilt things Town's way, but it came to nothing 7

Duane Holmes – tried his best out wide, but could not make anything happen 6

Yaya Sanogo – a few moments in the Terriers' best patch, but unable to find the net 6.

Substitutes:

Sorba Thomas (for Pipa, 53) – his dribbling was threatening but his final ball was not 6

Danny Ward (for Campbell, 74) – had little impact, but then there was no service for the former Miller 5

Scott High (for Bacuna, 82) – one excellent run won a corner 6

Isaac Mbenza (for Holmes, 82) – N/A.

Not used: Stearman, Aarons,,, Brown, Rowe, Pereira.

Rotherham United

Victor Johansson – a good save with his chest from Keogh 7

Matt Olosunde – withdrawn in the second half 6

Michael Ihiekwe – part of a back three which defended manfully in the rare moments it was tested 7

Richard Wood – used his nous to deny High in the second half 7

Angus MacDonald – did well to keep a first-half effort from Sanogo away from Johansson 7

Wes Harding – did a decent job at left wing-back 6

Ben Wiles – played well but missed the chance of the match 7

Jamie Lindsay – his energy made things happen for the Millers 7

Lewis Wing – brilliant performance which deserved a goal for his cleverness at a second-half free-kick 8

Matty Crooks – back in the hole, he should have opened the scoring 7

Michael Smith – did well to create Wiles's chance 6.

Substitutes:

Ryan Giles (for Olosunde, 74) – may have a bigger part to play in midweek 6

Dan Barlaser (for Lindsay, 82) – N/A.
