Ian Holloway confident Millwall will stay up despite Rotherham loss

Millwall can still survive this season despite the defeat to relegation rivals Rotherham, manager Ian Holloway insists.

Millwall manager Ian Holloway insists that his side can still avoid relegation this season after they lost 2-1 to fellow strugglers Rotherham United.

The Lions led at the break through a Martyn Woolford goal, but Rotherham hit back through Daniel Ward and Kari Arnason to leave Millwall six points away from safety in the Championship.

Holloway told Sky Sports News: "It looks very difficult but it's not, there's 12 games left. This time last year we had the same points as we have got now, with nine games left we dropped to rock bottom and stayed up. There's more than enough points for us. We need to get through this period where things are going against us.

"Results are what it is all about, I'm not getting them then the fans turn on me, I'm glad there doing that and not on the team. Everyone is under pressure, but the truth is that's where football is these days. We're in a results business, I'm not getting them and we will discuss that as a club, we won't be forced into anything by other people.

"The more noise you make the more likely it is to happen, I'm fully aware of the job I've got to do. I believe I can turn this around but if other people don't then it's not in my control. If the supporters had the button they would probably have pushed it."

Millwall visit promotion-chasing Middlesbrough on Tuesday.
