I can't promise anything - Le Fondre

Last updated : 13 May 2010 By Bigrich.....
Speaking to todays Yorkshire Post, the 23 year old 28 goal striker admitted that his future could be away from the Millers.

"Everyone knows that I want to play at the highest level. I can't promise anything. I have loved my time at this club and it has not only been beneficial for me but also beneficial for Rotherham United. Hopefully, the season can end in success." he told the Yorkshire Post.

Alf spoke about previous disappointment in the play-off with former team Rochdale; "We should have gone up automatically at Rochdale last season but we faltered towards the end, a bit like we have done this season,"

"We went into the play-offs in terrible form and a couple of errors proved costly. Against Stockport we were outplayed but we were also without one of our best players, David Perkins, who had been sent off in the semi-final."

Looking back to the Millers; "We have had chances to cement a top-three spot this season but we fluffed it, If we don't get promoted now, it will be a massive bodyblow considering the way we started the season."

"If I score the goals that seal promotion it will be great but I don't want to be looking back in a few years time saying that I have been in these games and not won anything."

Alf was of course rested for last weekends 3-0 defeat at Hereford; "Although I was a bit disappointed to be rested, you have to take it as a compliment if the manager feels you are that important to the team."

"I would like to be going into the play-offs in better form and felt I might have been able to get on the scoresheet last weekend but the gaffer felt he couldn't afford to take the risk of me getting injured."

"We have needed to grind out a lot of games in the last few weeks so there have not been as many chances. And I don't feel I am getting as many balls into the box as I was when I was scoring regularly and that also means I am tending to drift out wider."

"I am not the quietest player at the club either so, when I am not happy with something, I tell people, But, as I am coming in from the left, I have been winning penalties.

"Overall, I am really pleased with the season. It has been the best of my career for scoring goals but I won't rest on my laurels. I came here with a reputation and I want to keep building on that.

"I have been to Wembley and I want to go back. If you could guarantee winning promotion at Wembley, that has to be the best way to do it."
