Swansea City's frustrating run of form continued with a 1-1 draw at Rotherham United on Monday night.
Here's how the Swans rated:
ANDY FISHER 5
Relieved to see Chiedozie Ogbene fire against the post after 49 seconds but didn't have a save to make in the opening half. Had the fans' nerves jangling with a number of risky passes out from the back, though, and his distribution was largely poor. In the right place to deny Georgie Kelly late on, though.
BEN CABANGO 6
Made a number of clearances and other defensive interventions as part of a key battle with Jordan Hugill.
NATHAN WOOD 6
Showed plenty of composure in possession, but, as a result, put his side under pressure at times. A good few clearances when needed.

JOEL LATIBEAUDIERE 6
Started at right-back but shifted to left centre-back in a three and looked more comfortable having operated in that role last season. Looked to be bold and carried upfield in the second half when possible. Good in the air too. Solid.
MATTY SORINOLA 6
Crossing wasn't what it was in the win over Blackpool, but he was solid enough. Looked better after the change of shape that saw Swansea move to a back three. Did a good amount of defensive work in fairness. Withdrawn in the second half.
JOE ALLEN 6
Got the crowd going with a pair of sliding challenges early on and was always slick on the ball. Played a key role in Swansea's opener. Subbed.
MATT GRIMES 6
Played his part in Joel Piroe's goal but got away with losing the ball in the opening seconds as Chiedozie Ogbene hit the post. Couldn't get much going in attack but did plenty of defensive work. Subbed late on.
RYAN MANNING - star man 7
Swansea's best performer in the first half as he played a fine pass to create an opening for Ollie Cooper before testing Viktor Johansson with a free-kick soon after. Brilliant assist for Joel Piroe and did plenty of defensive work too. Fantastic shift but was subbed in the second half.
OLLIE COOPER 7
Brought his usual energy and pressed like an animal at times. Linked up so well with Manning on the left and was always willing to draw in the opposition to help free up space for others. Looked the most likely to create something in the second half.
MORGAN WHITTAKER 6
Couldn't beat Viktor Johansson in the first half but got into promising positions. Quiet in the second half, in truth.
JOEL PIROE 7
Grew into the match after Swansea changed shape and played a fine pass through to Whittaker. Took his goal in the first half brilliantly to put Swansea ahead. Headed a good chance wide in the second half.
Subs
Olivier Ntcham (for Manning) - Some decent moments, particularly when hunting down the ball before crossing to Piroe. 6
Jay Fulton (for Allen) - A couple of sloppy moments on his return from injury. 6
