Sheffield Wednesday 0 Rotherham 1: The player ratings
Rotherham's
great escape is picking up momentum with a 1-0 win at Sheffield
Wednesday.
They
outplayed the promotion-chasing Owls in the first half and scored
through Matt Derbyshire before putting in a heroic backs-to-the-wall
defensive show after the break.
The
success, which was a first loss in 17 games at Hillsborough for the
Owls, keeps the Millers three points from safety.
Here's
how the players rated and the chance to add your own.
Lee
Camp 8 – Another superb performance from Camp, who made several
good saves and was on point with his handling and kicking amid a
barrage from Wednesday.
Frazer
Richardson 8 – Played his part with some astute defending and is
really flourishing with a run of games.
Kirk
Broadfoot 8 – Captain Kirk, won headers, made blocks, produced
interceptions. Superb.
Richard
Wood 7 – Found life tough against Nuhiu at times, but came good
with some more warrior like defending at the death.
Joe
Mattock 7 – Performed well on his Hillsborough return, producing
the sort of solid display that has become the norm.
Greg
Halford 9 – Wow. Who his this player playing in front of the back
four and where has he been all season. Strong in the air and the
tackle, Halford fought for loose balls and broke up play well.
Suddenly become a key player.
Grant
Ward 7 – His legs and energy mean that Rotherham are a better team
with him in it. Still needs to learn when to pass and could have
scored early on.
Lee
Frecklington 7 – Frecks plays, Rotherham get better results.
Although not at the level of last week, he created the important
goal.
Richie
Smallwood 7 – Playing in a slightly left position, Smallwood
battled hard and did what he does best. Should have scored at the
end.
Matt
Derbyshire 7 – Asked to play in a very different role out on the
left, he wrote himself into Millers folklore by scoring the winning
goal.
Danny
Ward 8 – Led the line impressively before burning out at the end.
Enjoyed a particularly strong first half, where he was almost Alan
Lee like.
Joe
Newell 6 – Brought on for the final 20 minutes, he didn't have too
much to do.
Leon
Best 6 – Only played in injury time but almost set up a second.
Stephen
Kelly 6 – Came on at the death for his first appearance since
December.
