Here's how Pool's players rated:

1. Mark Howard - 5/10

Faced an onslaught of high balls and failed to deal with a few crosses. Late free kick went straight through him.

Battled well and never stopped running. Combined cleverly with Jordan Thompson for Pools equaliser.

Got caught under Michael Smith for Rotherhams first goal and was forced into some panicked long balls.

Faced a tough battle with Freddie Ladapo. Did the ugly side of the game well but distribution needs to be better.

Had his hands full with Rotherhams tricky winger but received little support from the men in front of him.

Kept play ticking over nicely and got around the pitch well. Harshly penalised for Rotherhams late free-kick.
