Rotherham (4-3-1-2)

Dillon Phillips: 7

Made some good saves and his kicking was much improved from the week before.

Hakeem Odoffin: 7

Add another position to his CV. From midfield to centre-half to right-back. Had a very decent game, although he marred his afternoon by missing a golden chance and giving away the penalty.

Cameron Humphreys: 7

A Championship player. Looks very assured at the level below.

Jamie McCart: 6

He's big and physical and can do a job in this division but he struggled one on one here. Twice he was turned by Wycombe attackers who then got away from him and the first instance earned him an early booking.

Reece James: 6

Looked after the ball well and put in a couple of inviting crosses during a solid performance.

Shaun McWilliams: 5

He has something yet didn't really show it here. The Millers have yet to find his best role.

Liam Kelly: 6

Showed some lovely touches but wasn't a consistent influence. Worked hard.

Joe Powell: 6

Not at his best but no lack of effort and that lovely left foot of his showed up well on occasion. Will have been disappointed with his shooting.

Mallik Wilks: 7

The boy can really play. Can beat a man with pace or skill or a combination of both. He was Rotherham's most potent attacker and would have had a couple of goals on another day. He's a touch on the selfish side, mind.

Jordan Hugill: 6

His midweek performance won him a starting role. He didn't match that display but linked up play well at times.

Sam Nombe: 6

A real mixed bag. Showed moments of sharpness and danger but some passes in promising areas went awry. Got himself in good positions and should have scored.

The subs

Jack Holmes (for McWilliams 75): NA

Things look like happening when he's on the ball.

Jonson Clarke-Harris (for Hugill 83): NA

No opportunities as Wycombe were on top in the closing stages.

Joe Hungbo (for Powell 84): NA

Good to see him back after injury. Not enough time on the pitch to make his mark.

Not used: Cameron Dawson, Alex MacDonald, Cohen Bramall, Esapa Osong.
