From the Rotherham website (lifted the bits we're interested in). Sounds like they're having fun!

Farrend Rawson’s first goal for the club put the Millers’ in charge at the interval and the game swung on a vital sixty seconds when Tony Andreu’s point-blank header was superbly kept out by Nick Pope just moments before Patrick Bauer levelled matters for the hosts.

New skipper Lee Frecklington took his place in the visitors’ engine room while Norwich loan pair Vadis Odjidja-Ofoe and Andreu were thrown immediately into the fray for their Millers’ debuts.

Moments later, Andreu almost put Clarke-Harris through on goal but the Rotherham striker was inches away from latching onto his slide-rule pass. Odjidja-Ofoe made something out of nothing to waltz past the attentions of El-Hadji Ba and Ahmed Kashi with an outrageous piece of skill before trying his luck from just outside the box but he dragged his shot narrowly wide of the target. Richie Smallwood’s delicate chip over the top almost put Andreu through on goal but he couldn’t get the ball under control.

Rotherham came within a whisker of doubling their advantage when Mattock’s pinpoint centre was inch-perfect for the run of Andreu, whose point-blank downward header brought a superb reflex save from Pope, to arguably keep the home side in the contest.

Both started today and Vadis is already on penalties!  Must be making a good impression up there

I'd quite like to see Vadis' loan extended to perhaps December/January. With our current midfield playing so well he's not going to be able to break into it, yet he's only got a couple more games left I think at Rotherham but he's clearly been impressing there. Perhaps give him another 2/3 months there and allow him to really get into his stride, and by that point a bit later in the season maybe there'll be an opportunity for him in our side.

I see he's now decided to turn down a loan extension and return to the club.

Have been speaking to some Rotherham fans who are absolutely blown away by him. Apparently his attitude was superb and his ability on the ball was exceptional. I'm delighted he's back because I think he could have a big part to play here once the injuries and suspensions start.

Out of all of our fringe players (e.g. Lafferty/Bennett/Bennett/Andreu/Kean), Vadis is the one I think has the ability to force his way into our team. He's a Belgian international for a start, and they probably have the best international team in Europe at the moment (entirely on paper), he's still only 26 so potentially has five or six years of football ahead of him. Whenever I've seen him he shows flashes of brilliance.

Its all going to depend on his body though isn't it. If his injury problems are behind him then he could be like a new signing for us, if they aren't then he's a sicknote and is simply of no use to us. Sounds harsh but that's the reality.

There is a rumour on a Rotherham forum that Steve Evans has left Rotherham over a dispute with their chairman over VOO (the latter saying they couldn't afford to extend the loan, the former saying that he was essential to their team), and a further rumour that VOO refuses to play for Rotherham now that Steve Evans has left the club.

Whether that is true or not is anybodies guess, could be 2+2=5 due to timing.

That has the feel of the BJ/Grabban's wife rumour which was equally ill founded!

Rotherham v Burnley tonight so we can definitely see Andreu if not VOO.
