The Star's Millers man, Paul Davis, assesses the performances at New York Stadium.
ROTHERHAM (4-4-1-1)
LEWIS CAMP 8
Superb saves to foil Conor Washington and Tjarron Chery (twice). The biggest compliment I can pay him is Lee Camp wasn’t missed.

Sheffield boxing and Strictly star Nicola Adams reveals name of baby boy born to her and Ella Baig
Hia best game since Norwich City away in October. Looked sharp and was simpler and more solid in his defending.
RICHARD WOOD 8
Did what Richard Wood does and did it well. A proper defender.
AIMEN BELAID 8
Totally justified his first call-up in 11 months. Composed, competitive and assured.
JOE MATTOCK 7
Decent, unfussy display.
ANTHONY FORDE 6
Tried to take the game to QPR and worked really hard out of possession.
TOM ADEYEMI 8
His best display in a Millers shirt. Constantly pressing, winning possession and breaking up QPR attacks.
LEE FRECKLINGTON 8
The legend grows. Hadn’t played for five matches yet ran more than anyone. His desire to go the extra yard is what Rotherham are all about.
JOE NEWELL 7
He won’t live down that miss, but his running caused problems and some of his deliveries were real quality.
IZZY BROWN 8
This was the Izzy Brown we love. Dangerous every time he had the ball, scored and he put in a shift as well.
DANNY WARD 8
His pace, mobility and aerial abilility were too much for QPR. Led their defence a merry dance.
SUBSTITUTES:
WILL VAULKS
On in the 85th minute for Adeyemi.
JON TAYLOR
An 85th-minute replacement for Izzy Brown. His pace caused problems but fluffed a great chance to set up Danny Ward.
STEPHEN KELLY
On in time added on for Joe Newell and won two important headers.
Subs not used: Bilboe, Ball, Blackstock, Yates.
