Player ratings and match stats from Huddersfield Town 0 Rotherham United 0
Millers (4-1-3-2)
Dillon Phillips: 8
More key saves from a man in an excellent run of form.
Joe Rafferty: 8
Mr Reliable. Good on the ball, good decision-making.
Hakeem Odoffin: 8
Two clean sheets in two games for him and his partner. Very little got past him and he was assured in possession.
Zak Jules: 8
Same as above. You mention these two in tandem these days. A proper pairing.
Reece James: 7
Lively. Got up and down the left flank.
Cameron Humphreys: 8

Hide AdDidn't quite hit the heights of his Lincoln City performance but, then, the opposition were much better this time. Still did very well. Gives the team defensive and attacking balance as a midfielder.
Alex MacDonald: 6
Got involved and made his presence felt with and without the ball. That right foot of his is very accurate. Has the shortest long throw in football, mind!
Shaun McWilliams: 7
Popped up everywhere, never more tellingly than when he appeared on the goalline to head away the ball and deny what seemed like a certain opener for Michal Helik. Another effective display.
Joe Powell: 7
The play's on the ground more when Humphreys is in midfield and that really suits Powell. Got on the ball and passed well.
Mallik Wilks: 7

Hide AdThe Millers' most likely route to goal. Manager Steve Evans thought that one of his two chances would have been taken had the attacker not been feeling the effects of a hectic fixture schedule.
Sam Nombe: 6
Ran hard, made a couple of sharp turns and kept the Town backline honest.
The subs
Cohen Bramall (for MacDonald 58): 6
Created real danger with his quick running but then didn't deliver crosses to match the build-up.
Jonson Clarke-Harris (for Wilks 78): NA
The Millers' frontline lost some of its mobility when he came on.
Andre Green (for McWilliams 86): NA
One mistake almost let Huddersfield in. Got away with it.

Opposition view: “We’ve had some really really good chances. In the last two home games we’ve had 52 shots and a centre-half has scored a goal. You have to be respectful. Rotherham aren’t a bad team. I haven’t seen the sending-off back yet. Millsy (Gary Mills) is one of Rotherham's coaches and knows Martin Paterson (Huddersfield assistant head coach). He said he looked at it a couple of minutes later and it was a red. I know he’s a little bit biased, but he’s a stand-up guy.” – Huddersfield boss Michael Duff
