Rotherham United: Player ratings from the Oldham v Millers 1-1 draw
ROTHERHAM (4-4-2)
MAREK RODAK 6
Had very little to do. Assured apart from one mix-up with Semi Ajayi.
JOSH EMMANUEL 6
An improving player. Offers plenty in attack and tightening up defensively. Still likes an extra touch.
SEMI AJAYI 7

Hide AdNearly messed things up with Marek Rodak as the goalkeeper came running out. Other than that, commanding.
RICHARD WOOD 7
Loved his physical battle with Craig Davies and more than matched a difficult opponent.
JOE MATTOCK 5
Wasteful in possession and Tope Obadeyi skipped round him a couple of times.
ANTHONY FORDE 6
Decent deliveries but consigned to more of a defensive job. Hardly on the ball in the second half.
RICHIE TOWELL 5

Hide AdNot the best display from a player with class. Only afterwards did it emerge he’d been ill and had done well to even start.
WILL VAULKS 6
Made his presence felt in midfield. Never stopped competing. Seeing a killer a pass and delivering it can be two different things though. Solid.
RYAN WILLIAMS 6
Took his goal well. However, a poor pitch meant this was one of his quieter days.
DAVID BALL 5
Worked hard but no chance to shine as the ball went high and long too often.
JERRY YATES 5

Hide AdStarted well. Wasted a first-half opportunity when a good touch would have put him in on goal. Had faded by the time he was brought off.
Substitutes
MICHAEL SMITH 6
On for Jerry Yates in the 66th minute. The referee gave him no chance to shine. Looked pretty mobile for a big man.
JOE NEWELL
Replaced Ryan Williams in the 86th minute.
JONSON CLARKE-HARRIS
Came on against his former club, who’d like to take him back in the January transfer window, as David Ball departed after 86 minutes.
