Rotherham United awaiting ‘brutally honest’ assessment from Steve Evans

A goal in each half from Tommy Conway and Scott Twine saw Bristol City extend their unbeaten run to seven games with a 2-0 win over the long-relegated Millers at Ashton Gate.

The home side took a 32nd-minute lead when Conway was brought down as he rounded goalkeeper Dillon Phillips. The striker got up to send Phillips the wrong way with a well-struck penalty for his 12th goal of the season.

Twine doubled the advantage with a superb 57th-minute free-kick, bent around to wall with his right foot from 25 yards.

Rotherham barely threatened, but stuck to their task gamely despite being clearly second best on the day.

Afterwards, recently-returned boss Evans said he was preparing a document for chairman Tony Stewart on the best way forward for the club after a forgettable campaign.

“This is one of the biggest challenges I have taken on, but I am confident that we can bounce back next season,” said Evans.
