In his pre match presser, Millers gaffer Paul Warne wasn’t short of praise for Alex Neil and Sunderland.
GREAT CLUB
"As a player, I’d be thinking ‘brilliant’, playing against a great club, with both teams wanting to win. These are the games you want to play in. We go into it in reasonable form and we just have to try and compete.”
HONOUR
"From my point of view it’s an honour to manage a team in that stadium and we want the lads to go out and express themselves and hopefully come away with a win. I don’t want the lads to feel like it’s a ‘must win’, it’s a game they should enjoy playing in. If we were to come away with a win, it would mean MK would have to win and we’d have to have a bad goal-swing against Gillingham.”
GAME RECOGNIZES GAME
“They’ve done really well and Alex is a great manager, too. He’s really well experienced and at a club that won’t phase him. He’s got a team that wants to win and the fans are right behind him. Winning seven games out of 10 in any league is some going.”
MUTUAL RESPECT
“They’ve got confidence and goals in their team and they will be full of confidence. It’ll be a tough game, but – respectfully – I feel like Alex will be thinking the same about us.”
