There's no positives from today - Evans

A missed penalty cost the Millers dear as Blackpool came back to claim a share of the points in todays 1-1 draw.

Speaking to the press after the game, boss Steve Evans wasn't happy; "It's as low as I've been all season, I think we gave them a share of the spoils recently when our goalkeeper made an error and today one of my centre-backs didn't make a basic header as the ball's come straight down the pitch."

"Lee Clark said to me at full-time that if it was 6-0 at half-time he couldn't have complained, and if it was six they'd have got away lightly. We get a point for our efforts but it's as down as I've felt." the big man added.

"We totally dominated. If it had been 8-0 or 9-0 the Blackpool fans would not have complained or said any different. I had a fan say to me at half-time, 'How's it not 5-0?' There are no positives from that game. We should've beaten them."

"We passed the ball on a horrible pitch that shouldn't be in the Championship. I feel sorry for the Blackpool fans - their chairman wants to invest in a new pitch. But we shot ourselves in the foot, as we have for the last couple of weeks."

Evans rued the saved spot kick; “You can always miss a chance, and you can always miss a penalty but you expect people to come back from that, but you can see all the boys looking at each other. We’ll dust ourselves down, we’ll take the disappointment with us because we absolutely dominated. The Blackpool fans wouldn’t have complained if it had been eight or nine, they’re good honest people here. There’s no positives from us this afternoon though we should have won today."
