Rotherham United manager Steve Evans was full of praise for his side's endeavour upon his return to the home dugout at AESSEAL New York Stadium.
The Millers played out a goalless draw against relegation-threatened Birmingham City but showed all the hallmarks of a typical Evans outfit, with hard work at the forefront of the performance.
Speaking after the game, the Millers boss was quick to offer his thoughts to the supporter who was taken ill during the first half before discussing his team's display against Blues.
"I think the first thing that I did with our press guys was ask at half-time what the situation was and then again at the end of the game. We understand that he's critical but he's still alive and in hospital.
"I'm sure that every Miller and every person, whether that be Sheffield Wednesday supporters or anyone is sending their love. Somebody has come to watch a game of football and our thoughts and prayers are with him and hopefully he comes through.
"I thought it was excellent [the performance]. We're a big believer not just in how it looks on the eye, but also the stats.
"I think we were almost up to 20% up on every player based on distances, high speeds and intensities versus all season and that is to their credit.
"I think we probably lacked a bit of quality or luck in the final third, especially in the first half when we had really good opportunities to hurt them.
"That seems heavily critical because we've lost key players again. I'm not going to moan about injured players over the course of the season but the boys we've brought off the bench have put in big performances too.
"I thought Jordan Hugill was brilliant today. Absolutely brilliant. In the end his legs fell off him.
"I could keep going."
