Tranmere Rovers 1-2 Rotherham United

  • Published

Alex Revell scored both of Rotherham's goals as the Millers beat Tranmere to consolidate their place in the League One play-off spots.

An early strike by visiting striker Wes Thomas was disallowed for offside but Rotherham did go in front when Revell turned in Kieran Agard's cross.

And Revell doubled the lead with a shot from the edge of the penalty area.

Veteran midfielder Andy Robinson ensured a tense finish when he headed a late reply but Rovers fell to defeat.

"I thought we were abysmal. I'm disappointed with the commitment and desire.

"We played for five minutes right at the end and it's not good enough. I expect them to run about and show some desire, but nearly every one of them was giving the ball away with simple passes.

"If we play anywhere near where we can play, at least we give them a game. I don't think it was a game."

Rotherham manager Steve Evans told BBC Radio Sheffield:

"It could have been four or five but it wasn't.

"It's a good day for us. It's a difficult place to come for us, on a difficult surface against a team that's very organised.

"We came with a game plan for stages of the game and they carried the game plan we worked on from Sunday."
