Mark Robins post Chesterfield
Rotherham United manager Mark Robins offered no complaints after his side fell to their first defeat of the season. After the game the Millers manager said:
"We just switched off at the end and failed to deal with a cross into the box and from our point of view it was a horrible goal to concede, he said.
"I have no complaints with the result, in my opinion they were the better team and they used the ball much better in difficult conditions."
Robins continued:
"I did not think we lacked any endeavour or work rate, they just used the ball much better in the testing conditions. I am disappointed with the result but I have no complaints with the players, the credit must go to Chesterfield for using the ball better."
The defeat was the Millers first of the season and Robins believes that it is important to get a good reaction from his players for the next game against Rochdale:
"The key is how we bounce back from this defeat, said Robins.
"It is the first time we have tasted defeat this season and it isn't nice but we have to remember this feeling and make sure it doesn't happen in the next game."
Robins opted for Mark Burchill in attack replacing Drewe Broughton and explained his decision to give the former Celtic player his first Millers start:
"Mark Burchill has been waiting for a start since he regained his fitness and I felt that today was right for him to come into the side. He looked lively despite not having much service so I was happy with his contribution."
The Millers lost both Ian Sharps and Nick Fenton to injury during the game and Robins revealed why he was forced to withdraw them from the action:
"We lost Ian at half time with a stomach injury and we will have to wait and see regarding his injury, he said.
"Nick Fenton came off with cramp which is something we need to look into because he is a fit lad and we don't want him coming off for that type of injury."
Rotherham received a home draw against Leeds in the Johnstone's Paint Trophy but Robins revealed he has not had time to look to far ahead of the next game:
"I haven't thought about it too much but it is a good draw and we will look forward to that game when the time arrives."
