Millers let it slip

ROTHERHAM United missed a chance to make up ground in the race to reach the League Two play-offs when they surrendered a two-goal lead to draw 2-2 at Northampton tonight.

A deflected effort from Nicky Law and a Ryan Taylor strike, both in the first half, had the Millers in control at half time but they were pegged back by a 68th minute goal from Cobblers substitute Leon McKenzie and then an injury-time equaliser from Liam Davis.

The comeback denied new manager Andy Scott a first win and leaves the Millers with just one win from 11 going into Monday’s Don Valley clash against top-end rivals Gillingham.

Northampton: Collis, Ofori-Twumasi, Rodgers (Uwezu 46, Holt 76), Webster (McKenzie 46), Beckwith, Jacobs, Bauza, Davis, Tozer, Walker, Harrad.

Millers: Annerson, Tonge, Newey, Cresswell, Fenton, Law (Green 60), J. Taylor, Harrison, Bradley, R. Taylor (Thomas-Moore 64), Le Fondre (Pope 74).

Referee: Mr K. Stroud
