Paul Davis gives his assessment on League proceedings at AESSEAL New York Stadium on Good Friday.
Millers (4-2-3-1)
Ted Cann: 6
A steady display. Did everything that was asked of him. Neither goalkeeper were overworked.
Joe Rafferty: 6
Decent. Nothing spectacular, nothing bad. Looks more comfortable now he's playing as a right-back again rather than as a wing-back.
Lenny Agbaire: 6
Let's hope the injury isn't a serious one. Had been pretty solid until he was forced off.
Zak Jules: 7
Won virtually every header he went for.
Reece James: 6
Not quite the attacking threat we're used to him being.
Dan Gore: 6
Loses a mark for his dismissal. An important player. Got on the ball, kept the ball and sought to drive forward when he could.
Liam Kelly: 6
A cool head in the middle of the park. Also competed well. Like Gore, he doesn't often give away possession.
Jack Holmes: 4
Only his second league start of the season. Given a chance by new boss Lee Clark. Tried hard but didn't make the most of his opportunity.
Duncan Watmore: 6
Flashes of his undoubted quality. Good to see him managing nearly a full game.
Harry Gray: 8
Some unbelievable touches from the 17-year-old. Quick feet and an even quicker mind. Arguably the pest performance of his loan spell.
Sam Nombe: 6
The usual direct running. Once or twice he tried to go it alone when better-placed teammates could have done with a pass.
The subs
Ar'Jany Martha (for Holmes 55): 6
Made an impact. The Millers were more dangerous after his introduction.
Jamal Baptiste (for Agbaire 76): NA
Surprisingly dropped by Clark after being a first-choice pick under Matt Hamshaw. Slotted in without a problem.
Josh Benson (for Watmore 90+1): NA
On too late to show much. Might be a starter at Port Vale on Tuesday now that Gore is suspended.
Not used: Ben Childs, Brandon Cover, Josh Ayres, Gabriele Biancheri.
Stevenage (4-2-3-1): Filip Marschall 6; Luther James-Wildin (Jasper Pattenden 16, 6), Charlie Goode 7, Carl Piergianni 6, Lewis Freestone 6; Harvey White 6, Jordan Roberts 6 (Beryly Lubala 81); Louis Thompson 5 (Dan Kemp 68, 6), Dan Phillips 6 (Jordan Houghton 68, 6), Matty Phillips 5; Jamie Reid 6. Subs not used: Taye Ashby-Hammond, Dan Sweeney, Lenny Brown.
Referee: Carl Brook (East Sussex)
Attendance: 7,920 (349)
Opposition view
"It was a difficult afternoon, not helped by our own kind of performance. Did we have the better chances? Yes. The players kept pushing. We're disappointed not to win, of course we are, but we have to embrace this (the promotion challenge). We have to enjoy ourselves. Not every game is going to be perfect. I felt there was a desperation to win. We don't need that desperation. We've just got to be us. The support was great. Our fans made a lot of noise."
- Stevenage boss Alex Revell
