5. Lukas Engel - 6
Gave Boro an outlet on the left from full-back in the first half. Wasn’t able to get forward as much after the interval. 6 Photo: Catherine Ivill
6. Dan Barlaser - 6
Delivered some decent crosses from corners which weren’t converted. Kept things ticking, even if Boro became frustrated against Rotherham’s deep-lying defence. 6 Photo: Stu Forster
7. Hayden Hackney - 7
Looked the most likely to make something happen as he tried to play the ball forward and quicken the tempo. Played a neat pass to Morgan Rogers before Forss’ equaliser. 7 Photo: OLI SCARFF
8. Isaiah Jones - 5
Made a few early runs down the right but picked up an injury. Tried to carry on but was forced off in the 20th minute. 5 Photo: George Wood
