Harford Delighted With First Win

Harford took his team to Chesterfield in torrential rain hoping to bag his first three points as manager and was delighted with what he saw as he told BBC Radio Sheffield. "Any win is great at the start of the season so I’m delighted, I’ve been at the club five months now and we have turned a lot of things round. It’s been a long time coming and it feels good at the moment and I’d like a few more."

Two in three for Butts

The Rotherham boss was also pleased that he is the manager to break the hoodoo against Chesterfield and thought they beat them in style. "It was mentioned to the players that there is a jinx here against Chesterfield and I’d like to be the manager to break it and obviously we have so it’s a good start for us, two clean sheets in three games so hopefully we can build on that. I thought some of the football in the second half was good and we tried to move the ball around the pitch and a good finish by Martin Butler, you know when that ball goes across the box he’s the one you’d like there.

Mick did reserve special praise for the 1800 or so Millers fans who braved the relentless horizontal rain in the uncovered away end. "I thought the supporters today were magnificent, they got behind us and stood in that torrential rain so take your hat off to them, I’m delighted for them too and hopefully we can kick on from there."
