Audio: We're not safe yet, warns Neil Warnock after Rotherham United beat MK Dons

Matt Derbyshire put them ahead after just 54 seconds and further goals from Leon Best, Kirk Broadfoot and Richie Smallwood completed a fine afternoon's work.

Warnock, who has inspired the stunning turnaround, was happy to win, but also would not say his side are safe.

"It was an important game but I thought it was a comprehensive victory," he said. "We started well with the goal and we couldn't have got off to a better start. We missed a few chances in the second half, but we can't get too greedy.

"I am not really too bothered if we are safe or not, I am only here for the short term, I want to win every game. I almost said we're safe, nearly!

"It just goes to show what you can do with a good group who want to listen. I think they are amazing themselves with the ability they have and what they can do with the ball. It's a great time and they are enjoying ourselves. It was important today."
