Rotherham 0-0 Morecambe

Morecambe put up a resolute defensive display to secure a deserved point against managerless Rotherham.

The home side's best opening fell to Adam Le Fondre but his shot was well saved by keeper Barry Roche.

The Millers dominated after half-time with Kevin Ellison twice going close, and Danny Harrison having a header cleared off the line.

Phil Jevons had the visitors' best chance but his 30-yard lob went just wide and Ian Craney also fired wide.

Rotherham United caretaker manager told BBC Radio Sheffield:

"I've got mixed emotions and I'm frustrated because we never started.

"I thought we were lucky to go in 0-0 at half-time. I thought we did a bit better in the second half, we pressed, we huffed and puffed but they defended well.

"It was always going to be a difficult game but the positive thing is we got a draw."
