Danny Wilson told the Swindon Advertiser that he thought his side's 2-1 win over Rovers was "a difficult game."

He said: "There was no pressure on Rovers, but massive pressure on us having to win.

"Billy Paynter put a great shift and got the first goal opportunity for Coxy by being very brave, going in in the areas that he did.

"Kevin Amankwaah for the second one had great interplay with Jon-Paul McGovern, and then produced a ball that got everybody on the back foot.

"Phil Smith pulled off a fantastic save at 1-1 after what was a very flukey goal from their point of view.

"Kevin's got a good contact on the ball - maybe too good - and it's come back off Darryl Duffy and caught everybody by surprise.

"We rallied back and had to be a bit more direct in the second half, put a bit more pressure on the back four, and see if we can make things happen.

"There was nothing in the game - there was not a big distance between the teams. But one is 12th in the league and one is fighting for relegation, and that's how it has been all season.

"One point would have been enough. I would have settled for one point - make no mistake about it. It was all about just not getting beaten."

Calvin Andrew told the Brighton Argus that his team's 2-1 victory at the Memorial Stadium was "a massive win."

Andrew says he is confident Albion are capable of completing the great escape after coming off the bench to secure victory against Rovers.

The on-loan Crystal Palace striker replaced the injured Dean Cox just before the break and made a big impact as he headed the winner from Gary Hart's cross in the 52nd minute.

Andrew said: "That was a big goal. It was important for me because I am coming back from injury but it was more important for the club and the town.

"I usually hang around the back post when I am playing on the left but Dean White told me to get into attacking positions and it was a cross you dream about from Hart.

"Being out of the bottom four is crucial for the mindset of everyone involved with the club, When we turn on the TV and see ourselves above that dotted line it gives you belief we can get out of it."

The Argus had reported how Paul Trollope named a line-up with "a licence to thrill."

It said: "Trollope's team was brimming with attacking intent, partly because of injury problems in defence.

"That meant wingers in the full-back positions in the shape of David Pipe and Jeff Hughes, while Duffy supplemented the free-scoring partnership of Jo Kuffour and Rickie Lambert, the leading marksman in League One."

Albion's satisfaction at approaching the half-hour mark on level terms was dented as they discovered, like so many before them, that it was impossible to keep Rickie Lambert off the score sheet.

The Argus said that Albion were "architects of their own downfall to a large extent as the robust target man struck his 28th goal of the campaign in the 28th minute.

A low cross by Disley skewed off the boot of Elphick to Lambert at the far side of the box and he swivelled to fire a shot which went through the legs of Michel Kuipers."

Brighton boss Russell Slade told the Argus he "saluted the bond between fans, players and management which is spurring Albion towards League One salvation."

Slade said: "The fans are playing their part. They were on my left shoulder for 90 minutes. They were absolutely brilliant and they are keeping us going as well.

"It's that sort of togetherness between the fans, the players and myself that is really driving us forward and we have to keep that going.

"We know we have still got to grind a few more points out and together I know we can do it."

Millwall's Gary Alexander successfully appealed against his sending off at the Memorial Stadium for deliberate handball on the goal line according to the South London Press.

His offence led to a penalty converted by Rickie Lambert. But video evidence showed the ball had in fact hit Alexander's upper chest and shoulder, and an FA panel has overturned the decision meaning he was free to play in the Lion's win at Leyton Orient last Saturday.

Lions boss Kenny Jackett told the SLP after looking at the video of the game: "It looks a harsh red card.

"As their striker Rickie Lambert said, there was no hand in the air or anything that looked deliberate.

"I spoke to the ref after the game and he said he would look at the DVD afterwards, which is good of him.

"The impact hit him on the chest - if he had been wearing a jacket it would have hit his lapel. So we will appeal."

But the SLP reported how two goals and a penalty conceded from corners against Rovers ensured Millwall will have to win the play-off lottery if they are to go up this season.

Nadjim Abdou's brace and "sustained second half dominance" over Rovers according to the SLP gave the Lions hope of salvaging something.
