Key Match Notes

  • ▸ Chesterfield's early substitution of K. Drummond for R. Colclough at the 59th minute may have altered their defensive setup, leading to a more cautious approach.
  • ▸ Rotherham's multiple yellow cards (Liam Kelly, H. Odoffin, Zak Jules) and the additional card for S. Nombe in injury time may have impacted their momentum, but did not translate into goals.
