The defeat saw the Millers sitting at the bottom of the table 8 points adrift of safety, but the positives over recent weeks were clear to see.
"There was a big effort by the players today and a lot of commitment, There was some naivety in some situations, but we can work on that and we created a lot of chances and I felt we deserved a goal or two." Kenny told themillers.co.uk
“We started the second half very well as well and we had several chances. Danny Ward’s one and even the one late on where we’re down and young Forde got through on the ‘keeper who made a very good double block.”
“As a group it’s making sure we’re experienced enough which is a big thing because there’s a lot of young players putting a lot of effort in,” he added.
“Their knowledge and understanding of winning games in the Championship is something that needs to come.
“It was an end-to-end game and they’re a good possession side but we created a lot of chances against them and gave them a lot of problems. We’re on the right lines, we’re disappointed with the result but we need to keep the commitment as high as that.”
