A bright spark off the bench, and he did his chances of more game time no harm whatsoever. Constantly chasing the shadow of the ball and had no impact. Struggled to get on the ball and when he did, he was wasteful. Was all over the pitch trying to recover the ball with no success. Part of the defence that couldn't clear the ball for trying. Feel he has to do better for the opening goal as he was caught napping.

Hakeem Odoffin scores after 33 seconds as Rotherham crush Blackburn to move four points clear of the relegation zone.

In stoppage time, Gallagher rose highest to meet Pickering’s centre but his headed effort lacked power and the home ‘keeper was able to gather with ease. The visitors made a triple substitution, in an attempt to turn the tide of the game, but it was the Millers, who threatened next, when Humphreys won possession on halfway and Rathbone, who was buzzing with confidence, drove hard at the Rovers defence before electing to shoot rather than pass but sub Ash Phillips blocked his goalbound effort. Following a period of probing around the Blackburn box, Rathbone latched onto a loose ball before working a yard of space on his marker, before unleashing a rasping drive from distance – with his weaker foot, and with Kaminski flying through the air, the ball hit the underside of the crossbar before bouncing back into play, from which Odoffin looked to scramble the rebound home, but following seconds of uncertainty, the assistant referee was flagging furiously, and the goal was given. The home side then had a scare when a floated cross saw Jack Vale volley goalwards but Lee Peltier bravely blocked his effort before Harry Pickering picked up the pieces to whip in a cross which was met by Dack, just yards out, but he headed narrowly wide of the target. The Norwegian full-back intercepted possession before getting the ball back and he skipped down the left flank before playing an innocuous centre across the face of the Blackburn defence which Rovers skipper Dominic Hyam made a hash of clearing and the ball fell invitingly for the on-rushing Odoffin, who unleashed a fierce shot with the outside of his boot from the edge of the box and his effort arched away from the outstretched hand of Thomas Kaminski to find the bottom corner of the net. The Millers, roared on vociferously by the Red and White Army prior to kick-off, were quick out of the blocks and they made the perfect start by breaking the deadlock within the first minute with Hjelde in the thick of the action.
