Player ratings and match stats from Rotherham United 1 Stockport County 1

​Millers (4-4-2)

Dillon Phillips: 6

Made a good save to foil Louie Barry in the first half and was generally sound.

Joe Rafferty: 7

Pretty steady. Used his experience well.

Hakeem Odoffin: 8

Sam Nombe was the sponsors' Man of the Match but Haks gets the vote from me. Excellent at the back and popped up at the other end with the equaliser.

Zak Jules: 8

Formed a strong partnership with Odoffin. The pair are a big, committed, mobile pairing.

Reece James: 6

Neat on the ball but lacked physicality on a couple of occasions. Came on strong towards the end when he was an attacking threat down the left.

Sam Nombe: 7

Worked hard. Did some of his best work in his own box in a defensive capacity and also managed to ask questions of the Stockport backline at times.

Liam Kelly: 6

Plugged gaps and rarely wasted the ball. Not spectacular but did a job.

Joe Powell: 6

Worked as hard as anyone on the pitch. Mixed success with his passing and crossing.

Joe Hungbo: 4

Make an impact as a substitute, don't make the most of your chance when you start. And repeat. The story of the winger's loan spell.

Mallik Wilks: 3

Talent to burn but didn't once catch fire against Stockport. A passenger at times.

Jonson Clarke-Harris: 4

Needed service and didn't get any.

The subs

Andre Green (for Hungbo 61): 4

His touch and timing were off. Still finding his feet after that long injury lay-off.

Shaun McWilliams (for Wilks 79): NA

Had a couple of moments in attack, including one where a goalbound shot was blocked.

Jack Holmes (for Nombe 84): NA

Had no real opportunity to affect the game.

Not used: Cameron Dawson, Alex MacDonald, Jamie McCart, Jordan Hugill.

Opposition view

“I am disappointed with the result, and not because I expect us to go anywhere and win. Aspects of our performance were really good but we just couldn’t make it pay in the final third.

“There is some frustration. However, there were some really good bits to go alongside that.

“It was the lack of care in the final third. Our quality from wide areas was really poor and that is something that has to improve if we are going to convert good performances into the points that those performances deserve.”

– Stockport boss Dave Challinor
