Ronnie Moore lavished praise on to his Rotherham United troops after the Millers saw off promotion rivals Bury 1-0 at Don Valley Stadium.
The Millers edged a tight affair with a Josh Walker strike 10 minutes from time to seal the points and move them into fourth position in the table.
"At the end of the day it was about the result but to a man I thought that we played well today," said a delighted Ronnie after the game.
"We played some decent stuff at times, Marshall was outstanding for us and it was nice to see the goal go in. If it was a boxing match I think we just about shaded it on points but I was pleased with the performance today more than anything.
"I have nothing but praise for them today, I thought we played with a good tempo from the start, we got stuck in, we closed them down and we had to because they are a decent side with good players. They have clever wingers who come off the flanks and cause you problems, we had to be at our best defensively and we were."
Ronnie was particularly pleased with the work rate involved in creating the opportunity for Walker which led to the goal, his second in as many games.
"It was a tremendous goal but to be fair Danny Harrison deserves a lot of credit," added Ronnie.
"Marshall did well in the first place but then Danny got two block tackles in, then Josh showed great skill to come inside on his left foot and then finish well.
"We know that Josh has a decent shot but he doesn't use it as often as he should do. He is good form distance and I have seen him do it for Middlesbrough but he needs to shoot more. He has the ability to do that and it was nice to see him score."
