Hide AdBen Wiles – Rotherham's best performer on the day as showcased by his magnificent finish 8
Ollie Rathbone – looked very nervy in the early stages, and like an injury might be troubling him as he came off 5
Mickel Miller – one of the livelier performers, but made way so Rotherham could get the pace of Osei-Tutu on 7
Josh Kayode – did very well as he laid the ball off for Wiles's goal but it was an all-too rare flicker 6
