Robins men secure third successive victory

Rotherham made it three straight wins for the first time since August as early goals in both halves helped them to a 3-0 victory at Notts County. It took just five minutes for Mark Robins' men to force their way in front as Reuben Reid fended off the challenge of Mike Edwards to fire home. And although County midfielder John Thompson twice went close to equalising in the space of three minutes midway through the first half, there was no way back. Two goals in the opening eight minutes of the second period clinched the points in style for Rotherham as County collapsed in front of their biggest crowd of the season. A mistake by Mitch Hanson after 47 minutes allowed Mark Hudson to get through on the left and he presented Drewe Broughton with a close-range tap-in. And when a long throw from the left by Andy Nicholas was partially cleared to Michael Cummins, he found the top corner with a fierce drive from 20 yards.
