Preston manager Alex Neil:

"I thought we should have won the game, we had enough chances to win the game. But we didn't take our opportunities, which is really frustrating to watch on the side of the pitch.

"You need to be clinical and deadly in those areas, but I've never seen a start to a game like that. It was frightening. The day is a sore one from me. We had so many chances, but the first goal was horrific. It's a sore one to take.

"We had a shocking start, the lads will be horrified by it. At this level we should have defended their opening goal, especially because we had every player behind the ball."

Rotherham boss Paul Warne:

"I thought Preston were easily the better side in the first half and asked us loads of questions. We were lucky to go in at half-time with a clean sheet. I don't think our performance justified a 1-0 lead at half-time.

"But we changed it a little bit and got our wing-backs to play a little bit deeper and got our foot on the ball a little bit better. And I thought in the second half we were really good.

"We got another goal and I thought our play deserved a third goal. We had to defend a bit of a siege because they threw the kitchen sink at us, so I was very happy to hear the final whistle. It's nice to be out of the bottom three, but we've got a lot of games to go
