Steve Evans: 'Rotherham United must stay focused'

Rotherham United boss Steve Evans calls on his players to keep their feet on the ground after earning an "important" victory over Brighton.

Rotherham United boss Steve Evans has urged his players to remain focused following their "important" win over Brighton & Hove Albion.

The Championship strugglers earned a 1-0 victory at the New York Stadium on Monday - a result that confirmed Blackpool's relegation to League One.

Despite boosting their hopes of staying in the second tier, Evans is eager for his side to keep their feet on the ground and concentrate on survival.

"We don't get deluded - there are no easy games in the Championship," he told BBC Sport. "In terms of match pressure it was up there with the playoffs. This was an important win.

"Had Brighton equalised then I think the supporters would have gone out disappointed but knowing that they had had a proper return from their players. There's a real cause and a real togetherness among our supporters. Our supporters demand that we give everything we've got and that's what we do."

Rotherham are back in action on Saturday when they make the trip to promotion-chasing Middlesbrough.
