"It's a painful result, but the end is even more painful. The result is a big blow, but to lose three players of that calibre, for a team like Rotherham, is massive for us. I didn't think there was much in the first half, but the game was past us before we could do anything about it. We've not trained since Tuesday so people can't say we're working them too hard. This league, to a team like Rotherham with our personnel, really highlights our weaknesses.
"We've not been good enough away from home. Last season we ground out enough points for survival. I didn't see enough of that grind and stubbornness today. It's tough at the moment. If you get anything away from home for Rotherham United you've done really well. Our fans can sing and shout whatever they want - I totally understand that because when you're getting beaten every away trip. Why should you spend your hard-earned money to watch us?"
