ROTHERHAM boss Leam Richardson was encouraged by his team’s goalless draw with Huddersfield and felt his side could have picked up a rare three points.
The Millers avoided a tenth straight defeat and came the closest to snatching all three points in the Yorkshire derby.
Rotherham have won just three times this season and just once under Richardson but they could not force a winner against ten men.
Sorba Thomas saw red for the visitors just before the hour mark after picking up two yellow cards.
Richardson was pleased to stop the rot after successive 5-0 defeats but they remain winless since Boxing Day.
He said: “The positives are that it was a clean sheet in a local derby and we were competitive. There was good work ethic.
“We started the game well. I am obviously disappointed with the end result with them going down to ten men – our habits have got to be better.
