QUINA OFF BUT TAYLOR HAILS HIS BATTLERS

STRUGGLING Rotherham United were good value for their point from the draw at Hull City according to boss Matt Taylor.

The Millers are just above the relegation zone, but deserved to leave East Yorkshire with a share of the spoils.

They also had to work especially hard once substitute Domingos Quina was sent off for a professional foul after 79 minutes.

Taylor said: “When you go down to ten men away from home it was always going to be difficult, but I was pleased with the performance.

“Hull are a good, possession-based team but with that possession there’s got to be an end and they didn’t hurt us that much.

“Points are going to be picked up from all teams down there, so I’m so pleased that we took something away from this.”

Hull – now with one win in nine – never looked cohesive in the final third until Quina was dismissed.

Before that, a near sell-out crowd had endured a damp squib of a Yorkshire derby from which neither side deserved to win.
