Cardiff manager Mick McCarthy said:
"It was a hard-earned point. Rotherham had real intent and were more aggressive, more forceful and better than we were.
"I was annoyed at half-time, it was as meek and mild as we have been, and in the second half I thought we responded.
"There is a big difference between running for your lives and running for your dinner and Rotherham were, they were fighting for their lives and I thought their performance reflected that.
"It's sad for Rotherham, but I didn't want to get beaten."
