Fighting for survival
"
We had two excellent performances over the Easter weekend, the lads went out and showed what they can do and I really think we were unlucky not to come away with all six points", the gaffer told www.themillers.co.uk.

"The team played without any fear and went out on to the pitch to win, there's one or two in the team that are now flourishing, Chris O'Grady's goal at Forest will do him the world of good, its early days for him yet, Chris wants to improve all the time and as long as he maintains that we will have a good player for the club.

"Delroy Facey has been outstanding. He performed admirably in both games and led the line really well and the lads that are running off him are getting rewards as well.

"Marc Newsham did well against Gillingham, he got his first goal for the first team and was really pleased, its early days, but Marc has got obvious ability's and talent, he has a very bright football brain which I like in players, its not very often you see that in young players but Marc always thinks about the game and his position and hopefully this is the start of more goals for him.

"We take on Carlisle tomorrow who are a good side and are coming off the back of four straight wins, it's going to be a big tough test for us as they are wanting to get into the play off zone.

"We'll have to look and see what they've got and go out like we did against Gillingham last Saturday at home with a positive frame of mind and a desire to go and challenge and compete for everything".
