Mixed Performances for Rotherham
Rotherham's performance was a mixed bag. While players like Powell (7/10) and Odoffin (7/10) shone with impressive displays, goalkeeper Phillips (5/10) faced criticism for his role in Wycombe's second goal.

Trailing early, they fought back with goals from Kone, Bradley, and Kodua, showcasing their attacking prowess and capitalizing on Rotherham's defensive vulnerabilities. The late goals, coupled with Clarke-Harris' penalty for Rotherham, made for a thrilling finish. This win propelled Wycombe closer to automatic promotion, leapfrogging Wrexham in the process.
What's Next?
For Rotherham, the loss serves as a harsh lesson. Despite moments of brilliance, defensive frailties and inconsistent finishing cost them dearly. Wycombe, meanwhile, will be buoyed by their comeback victory, their sights firmly set on securing a top-two finish in League One. Both teams face crucial matches in the weeks ahead, with the fight for promotion and survival intensifying.
