Rotherham United: Player ratings from the Derby clash
Rotherham (4-2-3-1)
Lee Camp 8
Saved two penalties and made other stops, including a stunning one to keep out an Alex Pearce first-half header. Derby fans might not love him but Millers followers do.
Darnell Fisher 4
Conceded the first penalty and suffered a nightmare first half when he could barely put a foot right.
Greg Halford 5

Richard Wood 6
As ever, shirked nothing and gave his all. Plays with character and heart. Some others could learn from him.
Joe Mattock 5
Given a difficult afternoon by Tom Ince. A lot of Derby’s play was down his flank.
Tom Adeyemi 5
A physical presence in midfield. Needs a run of games after injury to get fully up to speed.
Jake Forster-Caskey 5

Hide AdThe usual question after a J F-C performance. How did he really affect the game?
Possibly his least effective display in a Millers shirt. Too many League One decisions and his touch was heavy.
Joe Newell 6
Moments of danger in a central role where his deft touch and ability to find space showed up well at times.
Peter Odemwingie 6
Undoubted class. Didn’t see enough of the ball in attacking areas. Will have benefited from a full game.
Danny Ward 6
