A debut strike from Leicester loanee Jake Evans sealed a 2-1 home win for Cheltenham over Rotherham.
The Robins led through Charlie McCann's first-half strike before Jili Buyabu levelled for the Millers in the 62nd minute.
But Evans, who turns 18 on Friday, went on from the bench and sealed the points for Steve Cotterill's side.

Rotherham made the stronger start, with Paul Mullin's free-kick clearing the bar in the 15th minute and Wyll Stanway saving from Fabio Tavares and Denzel Hall.
Cheltenham opened the scoring when Shaun McWilliams' ball towards Kirsten Otchere found its way to Ryan Broom and he teed up McCann to slot into the bottom right corner after half an hour.
Robbie Cundy headed wide from a McCann corner as Cheltenham grew in confidence.
Cundy blocked well from Jamie Jellis early in the second half during a spell of Rotherham pressure, which paid off when Tavares set up Buyabu after a break and he slotted past Stanway.
But Cheltenham regained the lead when Cundy found Evans, who made it a debut to remember with a fine finish inside the bottom left corner from outside the box.
