Home setback for Millers

 Despite hitting the bar twice they were undone by goals at the end of each half from Andre Gray and substitute Nick Proschwitz.

Gray clipped in the first off a post after being set free in the penalty area from a counter-attack.

Before that, the Millers struck the woodwork through Kirk Broadfoot and man of the match Paul Taylor while Gray and Alex Pritchard also might have capitalised at the other end.

 Arguably the best chance to equalise came on the hour mark when a miss-kick from a defender gave Matt Derbyshire, recalled to the starting line-up, a clear run at goal but the striker fired at the legs of goalkeeper David Button.

  In the latter stages Button denied Taylor and Richie Smallwood and the game was into eight minutes of stoppage time when Proschwitz tapped in Brentford’s second.

 The result leaves the promoted Millers with two wins and three defeats from their first five Championship matches.

 Skipper Craig Morgan sat out the game due to injury but is expected to be back available when the season resumes away to Bournemouth in a fortnight.
