Millers 2 - 3 Crewe: Ronnie's Reaction

"I think for 25 minutes we were as good as we've been here, but the game lasts 90 minutes."

"We got the goal, a great goal aswell, and some of the passing and movement in the first 25 minutes was excellent, as good as we've been. Then we concede a stupid unnecessary goal. Shaun is only a young lad, but he's got to learn to stay on his feet - the lad had an awful lot to do to score from where he was".

"That (goal) gave them a lifeline, and for some reason the tempo we played at changed. We started being negative, and started going back to Pollitt."

"At 1-1 we we're still in the game, but I think the turning point was Burchill coming off. The young kid looked out of his depth when he came on, so I think he needs to go back to sitting on the bench, learning his trade, and coming on for 20-25 minutes, but it wasn't only him though, we never won enough tackles in midfield."

"We were very Naive, they went straight through the middle for the first goal, and although Shaun Barker has done very well against Ashton and won a lot of headers against him, but the lad was too strong for him".

Commenting on speculation surrounding a possible move for Lloyd Owusu Ronnie said: "I'm going to watch Reading reserves tomorrow, and if I think its right I'll do it. We need people in, simple as that".
