Talking to Radio Sheffield, Knill said: "Thats a massive boost for us, nobody would have expected us to come here and win two - nil and it probably could have been more, we were pretty comfortable all game"

"The credit has to go to the staff and the players, the players were fantastic. We gave them more information than we normally do. We tried to get over that its away from home and we've been poor away from home. We need to be resolute and we was."

"We drip-fed stuff in the players about the game, is difficult when your playing Saturday and Monday. We talked and did a little bit of light training, then today we give them lots of information. Once they get onto the pitch its upto the players to take it on and use it. Today I cannot think of anybody on the pitch who has not played well."

"For us to come here and win as well as we have won is a great achievment for the players. We're on 50 points with 3 games left,its in our hands, but its most important that we don't rely on this. We look at the next game. Can we win the next game and can we put in a performance like we had against Brentford and again today."

"I've never thought about other teams, I've always thought that it was in our hands. If we win enough games and perform well enough then we'll get out of it because we have some good players. We're on 50 points and in 19th, probably the highest we've been for some time. But its up to us now to stay 19th at least. If we finish 19th at the end of the season then its a result for us."

"The games that we've lost, people look at the back four and the keeper, but its about the team. At Huddersfield we never stopped the crosses and at Doncaster we never stopped the forward balls, its usually the back players that get criticised, but this is a team effort this, and today everybody tried thier best and played as a team defensively to stop goals going in."

"Lee Williamson felt his thigh, and at 2-0 and with 5-10 minutes to go, rather than leave him on and maybe miss him for the 3 remaining games we'll take him off now and put Macca on. Lee's says its alright, but he felt his thigh and didnt want to push it. Robertson got a knock in the first half but finished the game. At least they have a small rest before the next game."

Asked wether or not he thought the Millers can secure safety next Saturday against Scunthorpe, he said: "I don't know about that, I'm more concerned about wether we can get 3 points and can we not be beaten, then we'll see. I don't want to really worry about that I just look at our performance, but if we perform well like we have done then usually it takes care of itself."
