Rotherham goalkeeper Lee Camp
knows Neil Redfearn’s bedding in period has to start producing points soon.
Redfearn has a massive job on
his hands as he tries to change the philosophy of the side he inherited from
Steve Evans while also trying to steer them away from relegation danger in the
Championship.
Owing to a hectic schedule,
an injury crisis and a tough run of games it has hardly been a honeymoon period
for the new boss and, unlike Brentford, the Millers have yet to see an immediate spike
in results following a change in management.
Indeed, they have taken just
one point from the last three games, with Friday’s defeat to Sheffield Wednesday highlighting just what a job Redfearn has.
Camp has been impressed with
what the former Leeds boss is trying to do, but, with his side in the
relegation zone with just nine points from 13 games, he accepts it’s time to
start producing.
“It's going
to take a little while but, unfortunately, with the position that we're in and
the way results have been, we haven't got that long to turn things around,” he
said.
“He's made a
good impact. The results haven't reflected that but I can certainly assure you
that he's stamped his authority on us.
“He's made it
very clear what he expects, how he wants his team to play, and it's unfortunate
that what he's trying to do, what we're trying to do on the training ground,
hasn't quite come out in the games as of yet.
“It's come
out in little bits, in little spells, but I think we're in a bit of a
transitional period in trying to take on the manager's information and get out
there on the pitch.
“But he's very
thorough in what he wants to do, he's very clear in his approach, and it's been
very positive.”
Although they
have a clear week to recuperate from a hectic schedule it does not get any
easier for the Millers as they face an away double-header of the toughest
proportions as they follow up Saturday’s trip to Derby with a visit to
Middlesbrough three days later.
