Player ratings and match stats from Wycombe Wanderers 3 Rotherham United 2
PAUL Davis gives his verdict on events at Adams Park yesterday as the Millers brought down the curtain on their League One relegation campaign by losing to a stoppage-time goal.
Millers (4-2-3-1)
Ted Cann: 7
A mixed bag. He pulled off a series of excellent saves, but he might question himself over Wycombe's first two goals.
Joe Rafferty: 6
Steady. No frills, no drama. Well, no drama until he sustained a severe hand injury in added time.
Jamal Baptiste: 6
At times, he looked a touch nervy, and a careless touch in the first half led to a chance the home side should have taken. At other times, he purred like Rolls-Royce. A young lad with a bright future. He's come of age in an impressive loan season.
Zak Jules: 5
He was weak in the build-up to two of Wanderers' goals. A player who doesn't make the most of his many physical attributes consistently enough. Lee Clark certainly wasn't happy with him.
Reece James: 5
Pressed into action when Denzel Hall pulled out two hours before kick-off and didn't look quite ready after injury.
Dan Gore: 7
Not his best performance but still an effective one. Went from minute one to minute 94. What a great loan signing he has been. Another player coming of age and destined for bigger things.
Dru Yearwood: 6
In and out of the action. Okay for most of the game.
Ar'Jany Martha (Josh Benson 69): 5
One or two flashes but on the periphery of things most of the time. It's been the story of the second half of his campaign.
Jack Holmes (James Clarke 90+2): 8
Brilliant to see the little fella bag his first goals in professional football. And they were both good ones in their different ways. Playing centrally as a '10' suited someone more used to being out wide and he was a real threat until he tired after the break.
Harry Gray: 7
Some of his play was sublime. He created Holmes' second with a perfect cross and left Wycombe players with tangled legs when he ran at them in the second half. The 17-year-old loanee has been good for the Millers and the Millers have been good for him. Leeds United have one of the country's top prospects on their hands.
Sam Nombe: 6
No lack of effort but he didn't have his usual punch.
The subs
Josh Benson (for Martha 69):
Moment of smoothness. It's a shame has hasn't been available for more matches because he's a quality player.
James Clarke (for Holmes 90+2):
A very brief cameo as Holmes' legs gave up on him.
Jordan Hugill (for Rafferty 90+2)
Came on because of an injury suffered by the skipper.
Not used: Ben Childs, Harrison Duncan, Brandon Cover, Cohen Lee.
Wycombe (3-4-1-2): Mikki Van Sas 6; Declan Skura 6, Connor Taylor 6 (Jack Matton 69, 6), Daniel Harvie 6; Junior Quitirna 7 (Micah Olabiyi 78), Josh Scowen 7, Ewan Henderson 7 (Aaron Morley 59, 6); Jamie Mullins 7, Taylor Allen 7 (Mohamed Abdoulaye Keita 78), Fred Onyedinma 6 (Andre Vidigal 69, 6), Bradley Fink 7.

Opposition view
“We were a bit flat at times, but we had so many chances to put the game to bed. I'm really pleased with the end. It was a good day all round. We needed to get a win. I was disappointed we weren't leading at half-time. There was a lack of ruthlessness from us. A win going into the summer is a nice feeling. Their keeper made some great saves.”
- Wycombe boss Michael Duff
