    I would agree with you if there were 2-3 games to go and we were in this position. I would also agree if we had an unfavourable run in - say five away games and just three home games left.
    But as it is, I don’t think a miracle is required. We don’t have to win eight games on the spin, after all. We just have to maintain a healthy goal difference and get enough positive results to keep us in touching distance until the final day. Once we get there, anything is possible.
    Yes, recent performances have been mixed and yes, results away from home in particular have been poor. But our home form is really good. We have won six in eight at home and picked up 19 points from 24.
    We have five home games, all of them are very much winnable as even Fulham have shown in recent games that they can have off days. 
    Thankfully we only have three away games left but none of them have particularly formidable home records. Seven teams have gone to Blackpool and won. 10 teams have gone to QPR and picked up a point or more. Nine teams have gone to Swansea and picked up a point or more.
    We’ve not left ourselves with an easy task, this is true, but it hasn’t reached the realms of impossibility yet.
    If we win on Saturday and other results go our way, the mood will change and we will feel plenty of encouragement for the run-in ahead.

    Why write off the three away games?
    Let’s look at the seven away games we have lost in a row.
    Middlesbrough, Forest, Huddersfield, Luton, Blackburn and Bournemouth - six of the current top 10 and all in the promotion picture.
    The other was Cardiff, who are much lower down the table but rarely a place where we get much joy.
    It’s frustrating because you could argue we’ve probably deserved 5-6 points and came away with the grand total of 0.
    But the beauty of a difficult run is that it doesn’t last forever.
    We have to be looking to get something from every game if we can.

    If you still believed after Millwall at home, why give up now?
    Yes, we have ground to make up and yes, time is running out. It’s a big ask, absolutely, especially with Barnsley finding form and Reading building our hopes up only to sneak a surprise result every now and again.
    But with eight games to go and 24 points up for grabs, anything and everything is still possible.
    What it all boils down to now is Rooney, Rosenior and these players deciding how they want to be remembered.

    Has anyone checked that quantuma are a legitimate business and are still actively trading and still operating at the club, rather than pocketing the proceeds from the sales of Kellyman and Plange and sodded off on an all expenses paid trip to Benidorm? They do seem alarmingly quiet. 
    After Mels track record with Gabay, Samuelson and Alonso it wouldn't suprise me if Mel got the number for Quantuma from the small ads at the back of the Sunday Sport.
