Wolves 0-0 Rotherham: Millers complete great escape

Neil Warnock's great escape at Rotherham is complete as they earned a point in a 0-0 draw at Wolves.

The Millers were staring relegation in the face two months ago, sitting six points adrift of safety, but a superb 11-game unbeaten run has propelled them up the Sky Bet Championship table and with MK Dons losing against Brentford they can no longer be caught.

Warnock, who has said keeping the South Yorkshire outfit up would be his biggest accomplishment, has written himself into club folklore, delivering the best unbeaten run at this level since 1966.

They were perhaps fortunate to come away with a point in a goalless draw that their hosts dominated, but they can now enjoy their final two games of the season knowing they will be spending a third successive season in the second tier.

For Wolves, the end of the season cannot come quick enough after a fourth successive bore draw at Molineux.

They should have ended their drought, which now extends to 360 minutes without a goal, but Joe Mason missed a string of chances for Kenny Jackett's men.

In fairness, they showed little signs of being a side that struggle to score goals in front of their own fans and created the early running against a Millers team who have been difficult to break down away from home.

Dave Edwards missed a glaring chance after eight minutes when he failed to hit the target from a great position in the middle of the penalty area as he dragged Mason's cut-back wide.

They then came even closer midway through the first half as they rattled the woodwork when Danny Batth's header was brilliantly tipped on to the underside of the crossbar.

Jackett's men were not able to capitalise on that early promise, though, and the rest of the first half was a drab affair with little goalmouth action at either end.

But the hosts found the front foot again after the restart, creating a string of chances that really should have seen their fans celebrating a goal.

First Mason could not get enough on his shot to trouble Lee Camp when he broke clear following a long ball and then Sylvain Deslandes stabbed wide at the far post from inside the six-yard box.

Their best chance came in the 58th minute when a delightful ball from James Henry set Mason clear again but he squandered the opportunity as his shot was smothered by the onrushing Camp.

It had been virtually one-way traffic in terms of chances created, but the Millers did finally test Carl Ikeme and he made two saves from distance to deny Matt Derbyshire and Lee Frecklington.

Wolves perhaps knew that this was not going to be their day when they were denied twice in a matter of seconds as Camp denied George Saville and Stephen Kelly superbly cleared Jed Wallace's rebound effort off the line.

Mason then saw a header tipped over by Camp, who had kept his side in it, as the Wolves striker was left to rue a frustrating afternoon.
