What the managers said...

Wimbledon 0-1 Wolves


Dave Jones : "It was never going to be a pretty game but for effort and endeavour I couldn't fault the players.

"It was a good all-round effort. It has been a long, long season and to do what we did in the last 45 minutes - run and chase around - is credit to the players and fitness people here."




Rotherham 2-2 Birmingham
Ronnie Moore : "I will still be here next season, I want to stay here - and in any case no-one has made me an offer."

"With only four points from the first 30 we didn't get off to the best of starts," admitted Moore.

"We now need to bring in four or five quality players for next season. I do not want to go through all that again," he added.


Steve Bruce: "We had enough chances today - possibly two or three of the better chances, but to be fair we've conceded two daft goals.


"It's typical Birmingham City.

"We always knew it was going to to to the wire, and although that's what we've done if somebody had said to me at Christmas that we would be pushing for fourth position I would have been delighted with that.

"We had enough chances today - possibly two or three of the better chances, but to be fair we've conceded two daft goals.

"I also thought their first goal was a foul but it's not the time or the place to criticise."

"I saw today how Rotherham have made it so difficult for everybody this season.

"Ronnie Moore deserves a lot of credit for maintaining their status."



Coventry 0-1 Millwall
Rolan Nilsson: "We haven't been able to play the same side twice,"

"In the first half they looked very nervous for some reason, instead of going out and doing their best."


Mark McGhee: "It was a tremendous win for us at Coventry on Friday night, and even though Norwich won on Saturday the other results went for us. Our attitude now is that we want to beat Grimsby next Sunday and go into the Play-Offs as the form side. The confidence seems to be back now, and with the the kind of support we had up at Coventry which was outstanding, we have every reason to look forward to the Play-Offs and fancying our chances."
