Half-Time Report: Rotherham United fail to take their chances against Sheffield Wednesday

Rotherham United and Sheffield Wednesday are goalless at the break after an open first half at the New York Stadium.

The home fans were creating plenty of noise early on, and that almost inspired Rotherham to an opening goal after five minutes, but Matt Derbyshire was denied by Keiren Westwood from close range.

In a very open first 10 minutes Wednesday played their part, and they were denied by a fine save from Damian Martinez as he kept out Lewis McGugan's low strike.

Rotherham thought that they had the lead shortly after when the ball ended up in the the net following a corner, but the referee ruled it out for a foul on the keeper.

The home side continued to create chances, and Derbyshire was again denied by Westwood with a header from eight yards out, while Wednesday missed a glorious chance of their own through Atdhe Nuhiu, who headed wide from inside the box.
