Talking in the 'Tiser, Craig Morgan says that although being in the cup and playing at Villa is nice, the main importance is 3 points tomorrow afternoon at New York.

“Obviously we want to go to Aston Villa and win but we have to be realistic in those situations. It is going to be a great night for any fan that goes there and what you will get off every Rotherham player is 100 per cent effort, which you always do. If that results in us losing the game then at least we'll be proud walking out of there. But first and foremost, I would take three points against Shrewsbury over the game on Wednesday. That's my own personal opinion. Getting these points and getting the tally up is my priority." he said.

“I have never played at Villa Park before and from the captaincy side, leading the side out will be a great experience. But if I'm being honest, the league is key.”

Given the captains armband in the summer, he plays the role down and says there's a team of leaders; “Being captain doesn't have much effect on me to be honest. I'm not playing too dissimilar this season to last when I was fully fit, The gaffer asked me to do it and I said yes, it wasn't a problem. I think there are a few leaders on the pitch and you can't really single one out. You have the band on but one person can't motivate a whole team. It has to come from many people."

“I had the captaincy for a short spell at Peterborough but I was only 22 and didn't feel it was right for me at the time. This time around I was definitely ready. I wouldn't have gone into it otherwise.”

 “I've started well but football is a game where you can be playing well one week and out of the team the next if you're not. There is real depth here and I think it shows. We've got 26 pros and there's two people for every position. It's good competition for places and it's key." he added
