Warne - We had enough chances to get something

Last updated : 23 August 2018 By Millersmad

“I think a draw possibly would have been a fair result. We had enough chances and missed a couple of great chances late on. I think the two minute either side of half-time killed us, really. Going in at half-time at one-all would have been a fair outcome. I always fancy us to score goals in the second-half here, especially."

“We changed the system and, in fairness to the lads, have given everything they could, physically. A couple of individual errors, but I’ve got a really honest, great group in there and have put their hands up. We’ll try and learn from it quickly because you get punished in this league. We’ll dust them down and go again Sunday.”

Warne went on to explain the team setup changes; "I played two up front against Brentford and got hammered, We played two up front against Ipswich and didn't get a kick in the first half until I put Kyle Vassell out wide.

"I played one up against Leeds on Saturday and I thought our shape was good in and out of possession. We deserved something there. The way Hull play, they keep the ball quite a lot and if we'd have played two front, our two in midfield wouldn't have got a look in. That means we would have had to go direct all the time against really good centre-halves.

"If it was my mistake we'd lost the game, I'd hold my hands up. But I think we were set up right. We were hard to break down but individual errors cost us."

“I think they created enough chances to take something out of the game. And it’s never nice to see another team celebrate at your ground, we haven’t had that here for a while. It’s disappointing but the games come thick and fast and we’ve got to pick them up again."

Leading in the first half through Richard Wood's header, the Millers conceded three times before Jamie Proctor's 75th minute reply set up a grandstand finish. It wasn't enough to stave off a 3-2 defeat.

"I was hugely disappointed with the goals we conceded, The two goals either side of half time defined the game. Fundamentally there were errors, we’ve given them goals and we need to stop it. Both were avoidable. No disrespect to Hull, they played well, but it wasn't like they were cutting us open on every occasion. It was a competitive game.

"They had more of the ball than us, which happens quite a lot. We changed the system and on another night one might have dropped in for us.

"We have an honest bunch who stick their hands up and apologise when they've done wrong but we need to eradicate the errors."

“In fairness to Hull, I congratulate them for the win but for the last 15 minutes they were hanging on. We were running over them a little bit and obviously they tried to break but the lads have got to take credit for that and, hopefully, we’ll take that into Sunday.”
