Rotherham United and Barnsley FC derby ratings: Big eight for Reds' leader on return

Rotherham United

Phillips: His look said it all when he conceded the penalty. Nervy in second half moments. 5

Rafferty: Steady, if unspectacular. 6

Odoffin: Strong in his defensive work. 7

Jules: Got away with one with a clear handball in second half. 6

James: Got away with one when he tugged the shirt of Phillips in the box early on. Weak back pass for penalty that was awarded. 5

Mpanzu: Grafted, but still lacking a touch of sharpness and rhythm. 6

Powell: Kept going, couldn’t produce that moment of set-piece quality. 6

Sibley: Diligent defensively, you wanted more going the other way. Substituted following treatment. 5

Nombe: Barnsley – given problems by him in the past – were wary of his pace and directness. 7

Hugill: Relished the battle, but missed a huge chance ahead of the break. 6

Wilks: Up for it against one of his old sides. Went close early in second. 7

Substitutes: Green (Hugill 46) 6.

Clarke-Harris (Sibley 63) 6.

Kayode (Powell 86).

Not used: Dawson, McWilliams, Holmes, Hatton.

Barnsley

De Gevigney: Typical MDG performance. 7

Roberts: Showed what Barnsley miss in his absence. 8

Connell: Steady in the middle on his return. 7

Russell: Produced the odd moment of quality. 7

Phillips: Coolly taken spot-kick on his return. 7
