NEIL Lennon insists the great escape is on after Wanderers got out of jail against Rotherham United.

After failing to build on Jay Spearing’s early goal, the Millers steadily grew into the game before grabbing an equaliser through Chris Burke three minutes before the break.

An air of frustration filled the Macron for most of the second half, with fans aware of what was at stake, but Kaiyne Woolery’s winner two minutes into stoppage time earned Wanderers a priceless three points.

They are now three points from safety and off the bottom of the table for the first time in 14 games.

Brighton and QPR are next up, but Lennon believes survival is still a distinct possibility.

“It's a great win and a really important win and it keeps us in touch now with some difficult games to come,” the manager said.

“I'm delighted, I don't think we played particularly well. We have played better and lost games so I guess we were due one.

“That's seven points from nine and that's as much as anyone can have expected under the circumstances. We may fail and we may succeed but we have a fight on.

“I still think we have enough to get out of it, this little spell will give the players a boost and will restore the confidence. Hopefully it will give us a big boost and it is two massive home games with MK Dons and this one.

“Our form has been inconsistent to say the least so it's nice to find a bit of form going into the last few games.”
