DEADLINE DAY: Millers fans react to Smallwood departure

IT'S safe to say fans weren't too happy with the news that midfielder Richie Smallwood has departed Rotherham United on transfer deadline day to sign on a year-long-loan at League One club Scunthorpe United.

Matt Vause used Twitter to say he was 'gutted', while Jack Griffiths referred to the 25-year-old as 'Mr Dependable'.

On Facebook, fans were equally as upset to see the central midfielder leave.

Here are some of the reactions:

Jack Griffiths @shakermaker91

Letting @richsmallwood33 go is absolutely beyond me, just about sums up the phrase "mr dependable" #rufc

Darren Lightfoot @DarrenLightfoot

Maybe the departure of smallwood is freeing up salary for incoming? #rufc
