"There were a lot of individual errors. You can carry one or two players not being on form, not four, five, six or seven. We had a bad day at the office." Laws told the Sheffield Star.
The former Scunthorpe boss will be hoping that his players will be able to play themselves in to form and force a repeat of the last time Wednesday played at Millmoor when they won 2-0 on New Years Day 2003.
"We need to put it right quickly. We need a good performance on Thursday." added Laws.
The game, Rotherham's first home appearance of the season, kicks off at 7:45pm and is live on Sky Sports 1.
