Rotherham United boss Alan Knill has questioned his side's ability to remain in League One after Tuesday's 2-1 home defeat by Swansea City left the Millers eight points adrift at the foot of the table.

Despite a blistering stoppage-time free-kick from Martin Woods, the visitors were always in control and inflicted a 17th defeat of the campaign on Knill's beleaguered side.

"It was a pretty poor performance and they are goals you cannot afford to concede," he said.

"The first was a free header and the second goal was from our set-piece.

"Looking at them (Swansea), they've got that little bit of quality and that's what we're lacking at the moment - confidence and a touch of quality.

"It's a pretty tough time for everyone but we need to stand together. We said tonight let's get the ball in their half, but we couldn't get hold of the ball.

"The fans kept cheering when they could and we're grateful to them."
