RAMS RATINGS

KELLE ROOS 5

Very little to do for much of the game in only his second League start of the season. Could he have been more dominant just before Rotherham scored?

NATHAN BYRNE 6

Saw enough of the ball but, as with Lee Buchanan, he did not see a forward pass early enough. Kept looking to drive forward from right-back and supplement attacks.

ANDRE WISDOM 5

Vital block close to his own goal to deny Rotherham the lead late on but looked uncertain at times in the first half.

MATT CLARKE 5

Looked very tentative early on, better in the second half.

LEE BUCHANAN 5

A really poor 10 minutes in the first half from the left-back, in which he gave the ball away too often, culminated in a yellow card for a rash challenge on Jamie Lindsay. He did not, at times, see a forward pass early enough. Was denied by a fine save from the Rotherham keeper. More positive in the second half, with and without the ball.

JASON KNIGHT 5

Captain in the absence of keeper David Marshall, quite an honour for the 19-year-old. Full of energy and effort, as always, but gave away the free kick that led to Rotherham’s goal.

KRYSTIAN BIELIK 5

On the periphery of things in the opening 45 minutes, not his usual influential self, took a heavy knock to his arm but was able to continue. Fortunate not to pick up a second yellow card in the second half, replaced after 66 minutes.

GRAEME SHINNIE 7

Early strike pushed away by the keeper, Derby’s best player in the first half and continued with his energy and selfless work in the second.

MARTYN WAGHORN 4

Back in the side after a threematch ban. Quiet first half, put a chance narrowly wide in the second.

COLIN KAZIM-RICHARDS 4

Isolated in the first half, no service, which did not help the centre forward, but could not get a hold of the ball to help build up play.

KAMIL JOZWIAK 4

Lifted a chance over the bar, busy on the ball without an end product. He has to improve his end product, he has to make decisions earlier, wasteful in good situations.
