MAGICAL MOORE DOES THE TRICK FOR MILLERS

- TOM FARMERY

HERO OF THE WEEK Kieffer Moore (Rotherham). a first- half hat- trick from the on-loan ipswich Town striker put the Millers on their way to a commanding 5- 0 victory over Southend. He looks more than capable of firing Rotherham back to the Championsh­ip, even this early in the season. ZERO OF THE WEEK Conor Wilkinson (gillingham). Flew horribly into a challenge on Bradford’s Timothee Dieng to earn himself a red card with his side trailing 1-0 with 15 minutes to go. Downright daft. GOAL OF THE WEEK Erhun Oztumer (Walsall). Walsall flooded the Oldham penalty area. James Wilson provided a brilliant flick- on and Oztumer cleverly poked the ball past goalkeeper Ben Wilson for a 90th-minute winner. QUOTE OF THE WEEK Paul Warne, Rotherham manager, after his side’s 5-0 win against Southend: ‘it was an unstoppabl­e first half but the pessimist in me kept thinking, “We need another goal”. To get the fourth before halftime was good. i joked after saying we’d get abused for not scoring enough in the second half! it’s just one game, but at least it cements the way we want to play.’ STAT OF THE WEEK Five-nil at Rotherham was Phil Brown’s heaviest defeat since taking charge of Southend more than four years ago. no half-time team talks on the pitch required just yet, though.
