Rotherham United Manager Paul Warne says that we didn’t get what we deserved after this evenings late goal saw Blackburn Rovers take all three points.
And I, for one, agree with him.
‘It’s always cruel when you lose in the last few seconds,’ the Millers Boss told IFollow, ‘and I’m still very raw emotionally about it.’
Aren’t we all. But what a shame that it will be that last minute goal that we will remember this game for and not some of the good play that went on during the game.
‘We played so well and the lads gave everything physically,’ the Gaffer went on, ‘and I don’t think my ‘keeper had a save to make.’
Well, actually, Warney there were two good saves from Viktor Johansson this evening.
‘But we had guilt edged chances in the second half,’ said Warney, ‘and if we don’t take them then one goal possibly is not going to be enough. But I thought at the very least we deserved a point. I shook hands with all their players after the game and five or six of them said ‘you didn’t deserve that’. All that effort for nothing but we can more than compete at this level, we just have to be more clinical. We can’t have that many opportunities and not take them. I feel for our lads tonight because they didn’t deserve this.’
That goal was a blow but as well as taking chances we’ve got to learn to hold onto a lead.
Another tough game on Saturday – Up The Millers.
