Rotherham United: Player ratings from the Millers' derby at Sheffield Wednesday

Joe Mattock did well against his old club

ROTHERHAM (4-4-1-1)

LEWIS PRICE 7

Goalkeeper standing in so well for Lee Camp did nothing wrong and almost got to an excellent Steven Fletcher penalty.

DARNELL FISHER 8

Defensively dodgy at the start but grew into the game and Sheffield Wednesday got very little change out of him.

RICHARD WOOD 9

A penalty award against him and a red card were the last things his commanding, courageous display deserved. Led the Rotherham resistance.

AYMEN BELAID 8

Why didn’t he play before Paul Warne took over? Three matches, three assured, competitive displays.

JOE MATTOCK 8

Like Wood, he was playing against his former club. Very solid and dependable. Little got past him.

ANTHONY FORDE 7

Worked as hard as anyone in a real team effort. One or two good moments but needs to threaten more when he has the ball.

TOM ADEYEMI 7

Another good performance by the midfield man starting to show his best form now he’s clear of injuries. Got among the Owls players.

LEE FRECKLINGTON 7

Frecks was Frecks. Not his best ever game, but tireless running and competing. Led by example.

JOE NEWELL 8

Easily his best dispay of the season. His direct running opened up Wednesday several times and his deliveries hit the spot too. Tremendous.

PETER ODEMWINGIE 6

Paul Warne was full of praise for him afterwards. Some quality touches here and there but didn’t make a truly consistent impact.

DANNY WARD 6

Didn’t see a lot of the ball but there were times when his pace troubled the Owls defence.
