Robbo is under no illusions that the Millers face a massive task in thier attempt to stave of relegation to League Two for the second succesive season, the team are 7 points off safety with just 7 games of the season left.

"We are still in trouble but we are starting to claw back the deficit and that aim is now to close the gap on the next team above us. The more we win, the more it puts pressure on those around us."

"Bournemouth will present a different challenge to Blackpool in that they'll come and pass it around. Robbo told the Advertiser.

"I also think it's time we started passing the ball better. I don't ask the players to pump the ball forward. I want them to get the ball down and play at the right times and places." he added.

Meanwhile speaking to Radio Sheffield today, Robbo has been impressed with the reactions of the dropped players.

"Whenever people are left out of the side they're never happy. If they are they're not really worth they're place in the squad anyway. You're looking for reactions when they're left out. We've had that in general and I wouldn't have expected anything any differently."
"You've gotta try and get a balance and try and get a winning combination really." he added.
