PAUL RAYNOR has vowed to weed out the Rotherham United players unable to rise to the small occasion after watching them pass up a shot at Wembley with a performance he felt took them back "two or three months".

All the goals, interviews and reaction as City go through to the EFL Trophy semi-final.

Rotherham are winless across their last five trips to the blue half of the Second City, with their latest victory at St Andrew's coming all the way back in September 2015, when former Birmingham striker Matt Derbyshire found the net for the visitors during a 2-0 Championship success.

THE penalty that knocked Rotherham United out of the Vertu Trophy should never have been given, claims assistant boss Paul Raynor.
