Rotherham United striker Michael Smith has landed the PA Entertainments Man of the Match award for his performance against Fleetwood Town on Saturday.
The striker continued his fine start to the campaign with his fourth goal in six games against the Cod Army, a strike which was also his 40th in Rotherham United colours.

343 votes were cast on the online poll, with Smith coming out on top with 42% of them.
Also nominated were Ben Wiles, Kieran Sadlier and Chiedozie Ogbene.
Background
This poll is supported by PA Entertainments who have been long-term supporters of the club and were hailed for their recent work which involved them lighting up the stadium in the colours of the NHS and more recently, with the image of a poppy for Armistice Day.
As part of the agreement, the club’s official Twitter account @OfficialRUFC will post an online poll after each Millers fixture allowing supporters to pick out their Man of the Match from the shortlist.
The PA Entertainments Man of the Match will be revealed on a Monday morning following a Saturday fixture or midday on the day after a midweek fixture.
The next opportunity for supporters to pick their Man of the Match will be on Tuesday, when the Millers travel to LNER Stadium to take on Lincoln City.
