Knilly on the attack??

As the Millers go into the Bournemouth game tomorrow, Knilly intends to attack teams as the team can't defend.

Speaking to the 'Tiser, Knill said "We don't have the players to defend. They all want to go forward, Wherever we play, I give the freedom to go out and play because it's no use asking players like Lee Williamson, Eugen Bopp and Michael Keane to just sit there. They'd only get frustrated."

"I tried the defensive approach once or twice last season and it didn't work. I prefer to give the players the chance to go out and express themselves and it's worked pretty well for us so far with those three away wins."

"There isn't one ground in this league where you would go and fear getting beat 4-0 or 5-0 if you pushed forward too much. It's not like the Premier League. Anyone can beat anyone so you might as well give it a go away from home."

Looking at tomorrows game, Knill warned his players that despite getting off the bottom of the table, the hard work has to continue.

"We've wiped out the ten points and we're delighted to be off the bottom. There's a five-point gap to the next team but I know we can eat into that. All we have got to do is keep hit-ting our monthly points target and make sure we're out of the bottom four come May 5."

Kevin Bond
"Bournemouth are a good side who like to get the ball down and play at a quick tempo, James Hayter is always a threat and they've got Darren Anderton in midfield."

"They've had a recent change of manager in Kevin Bond for Sean O'Driscoll, but I expect them to play the way they have in recent seasons because it is hard for a new man to change things straight away." Knill added.
