WE DID ENOUGH! - Knill

Speaking to the assembled press after this afternoons nailbiter, Knill said: "It was'nt a classic and we didnt play good football, but we did enough and looked solid and that was the main thing."

"The players should take great credit, they've been fantasic considerin everything thats gone on here, i though todays performance was exactly what we needed, it was dogged and solid. Even though we were'nt playing for a draw, we all knew that a draw would do us."

"I'm always worried at 0-0. Everytime somebody pulls thier foot back to shoot it's flying in the top corner, but it didnt and that's the difference between before and now since I took over. It's a work ethic and a winning mentality we've tried to get. I've just told the players that out of everything thats gone on here, they have that."

Speaking about Mcleod's effort late on, where Cutler pulled out a save to keep the Millers in it, Knill said, "I had my eyes closed, I didnt see it, but he's scored 17 goals and hes going to have a shot. But we're happy that hes shooting from 20-30 yards and not 6."

Asked how big an achevement this is as a manager for Knill, "Well I've only been a manager for a while so its well up there. Its fantastic, but I have to say that when the last board asked me to take it I felt that we could stay up, I felt that the team were good enough to stay up and they've proved that, albeit it's been close."

"We've put in some pretty good performances and only lost 1 in 13 home games which is a great record and deserved to stay up, we've player some really good football."

"We came out of a bad January, we picked up 3 points in January, we had 8 before and just 3 in January, but the performances were really good. We played Forest at home and somebody else at home, but the performances were really good. You think then it would have been easy for us to get back in there, but we didnt. The next month we got 7 points, next month 8 points and now the point here."

Teamwork

"I've always had belief in the players, and I think they beleve which is the biggest thing is to get them to beleve so as well the biggest thing is the team, as you can see today. Its a team, everybody fights for everybody and thats what you try to create, and we knew it was in there."

Asked if all the off field problems had helped to pull everybody together, "Yes but you have to be clever enough to use them though, its easy to moan, and I dont think many people have heard me moan about it."

"It does bring you together as a team, we took a bit of critism and used that as well. We kind of went into that seige mentality, everybody hates us and everybody wants us to go down, and I think that helped, and fortunately we've got enough charictor in the team to breed that and today was exactly the same, we just said, prove everybody wrong. Everybody though we were going down and we didnt."

Asked what staying up means to the financial side of the club, "It's massive, absolutely massive and for me as the manager its the game and its riding on it, but in the back of your mind theres lots more. "

Keep him!!!

"Just by staying up may mean that we can stretch the budget a little bit whereas before we would have probably had to shed quite a bit and shed quite a few of the players because of the wages, but now hopefully it makes it a little more flexible. We have more money coming in and maybe I can use that to persuade some of the players to stay and also to get new players coming in"
