Talking to the Advertiser, the gaffer looks ahead at the next few weeks towards the end of season play-offs and said; “It's a big, big prize ahead if we get it right, We want to be in top form by the time we hit the playoffs and I have to make sure over the next week or two that the players are refreshed."
“That's when it will all get very serious. There's no point in getting through the last four games and then having to up the tempo again, I need to keep the players fully focused."
“We were laughed at when I said, when I came here, that I wanted to see this team in the Championship and now it's within reach. The League managers all made their predictions at the start of the season and the average was that we'd finish 20th – I'll make sure the players have that in their minds when the playoffs start because we want to prove them all wrong.”
The Millers visit champions elect Wolves this afternoon; “We know it's going to be tough down there. They're a team blessed with talent and so they should be with a budget of £32 million or so; with money like that available they should probably have sewn it up by Christmas! But it will be a good test for us and it will be an example of some of the games we'll have if we also go up. We should have beaten them here earlier in the season but they grabbed a point with a phantom penalty, so we’ll look to pay them back.” Evan added.
