that Brentford had lost last year's final and then went on to win automatic promotion the following season and that would "be their model for success now". The Rotherham manager Evans dedicated the victory to two ill family members and recounted: "All season the boys have continued to fight adversity... You need to retain that inner belief". Asked how he encouraged the Rotherham second half performance, Evans said: "I just spoke to them about what it meant to them, to their families, their children, their mums and dads – about how they would feel looking back on this day when they are grandads." Slade was named joint manager of the season for League One, along with Wolverhampton Wanderers' Kenny Jackett. Rotherham United ended the following season in 21st position in the Football League Championship, one place and five points above the relegation zone. Leyton Orient finished their next season 23rd in League One, and were relegated to Football League Two for the 2015–16 season. Slade had resigned from the club in September 2014 with them in 17th position, to take over at Cardiff City after Leyton Orient had refused permission for the Welsh club to talk to him.
