It's not an easy run-in but the players are starting to believe. I think this lot are capable of winning four on the bounce. They just need a break.

We've had no joy at all. We're very, very frustrated at the moment but that's life. It's one of those things in football. It's not unusual and we'll just get on and work as hard as we can.

We've got eight winnable games to go and we've got the right teams to play in the right places.
