Matt Hamshaw 'proud and hugely disappointed' by Rotherham United's draw with league leaders Bradford City

For the team one from bottom of League One to take a point off the side leading the table was a good result, but having got themselves 2-0 up early in the second half, manager Hamshaw was frustrated his side did not see out a victory – especially as defensive errors contributed to their downfall.

“I am proud and hugely disappointed," said the Millers manager. “I thought we tripped ourselves up and that game should have been a lot more comfortable than it was.

“We should have won the game. I thought our attacking play was outstanding.”

Denzel Hall put the Millers ahead in the first-half and half-time substitute Martin Sherif doubled the lead. Both were very well-worked moves.

But with Rotherham looking vulnerable defensively all night, a Bantams side who missed two good chances through Will Swan at 0-0 hit back with goals from Antoni Sarcevic and Alex Pattison.

Centre-backs Lenny Agbaire, 20, and Jamal Baptiste, 21, both had poor nights.

“We showed a bit of naivety in the defending, but the lads who have made the mistakes are going to be big players for this club," stressed Hamshaw.

"They’re young. But, at the same time, they have to learn quicker."

The result nudges Rotherham two places up the table but keeps them in the League Two relegation zone 10 games into the season. The match was their weekend fixture a couple pf days early.

Since starting the season with a victory, Rotherham have won once in their subsequent 12 matches in all competitions.
