Rotherham United boss Steve Evans: 'We go to Wembley as underdogs'

Rotherham United manager Steve Evans expresses his delight at reaching the League One playoff final.

By Mark Langshaw, Reporter | 15 May 2014

Rotherham United manager Steve Evans has insisted that his side will be the underdogs when they take on Leyton Orient in the League One playoff final.

The Millers booked their place at Wembley Stadium with a 3-1 win over Preston North End in their semi-final second leg, progressing 4-2 on aggregate.

"It feels wonderful because we were many people's favourite to go back down at the start of the season," BBC Sport quotes Evans as saying.

"I think over the two legs we deserved to win the tie. It's my job to make sure we enjoy this tonight but tomorrow our focus will turn to Leyton Orient.

"We go to Wembley as the underdogs because they led the table for many months."

The League One playoff final will take place on May 25.
