Millers focus on next hurdle

The 1-0 defeat to Port Vale at Don Valley Stadium at the weekend was the Millers' third loss in four games, pushing them into the bottom half of the table.

Their position, five points off the play-offs, is a disappointment considering the goal of automatic promotion back in the summer.

Andy Scott, who received a public show of support from chairman Tony Stewart last night, will now attempt to quieten his critics with a good result at Dagenham.

He said: "Saturday is done now. There will be a few sleepness nights this week, as there is always is when you run things through your head, but we'll come in and work hard and make sure everything is focussed towards Dagenham.

"I believe that we're doing the right thing and that the way I want them to play and we can play is the right way and the effective way."

"We'll keeping working hard and believing in what we're doing."
