16 points adrift, with 36 left to play for, the writings on the wall for the Millers, but Interim boss Paul Warne isnt giving up yet.
“I’m not going to say we’re down until we’re down, but we’re all realists, I know the probability of it. But we’ve got a responsibility to our fans, to our sponsors, to our chairman, to our families to go out and perform every week. I think my lads did that today. If you came and watched my team today and you think they’ve given up, you were drinking heavily before you came here."
“My players really had a good go. At 2-2, we had them rattled. I said the lads at half-time: ‘Don’t crumble. You’ve got to show character. At least show character.’"
“I thought they had a really good go in the second half and I really feel for them. They’ve played their hearts out. A 2-2 draw here wouldn’t have done anything to our season. It’s good to get a point and not to lose, don’t get me wrong, but we need to win football matches."
“It’s my job to be positive with the lads and pick them up next week for a good home performance against Villa.”
“A 4-2 defeat definitely wasn’t fair, We got back into the game and it looked as though we were going to win it. The ref gave the penalty and that was it."
“We have to win games and us going for 3-2 to us ended up making it 4-2 to them. We went for the three points and it was nearly worth it, but obviously it didn’t pay off in the end.”
