“We started this season well and we have had a hell of a season, whatever happens, in terms of entertainment, ups and downs, all that sort of thing.
“Everything that got thrown at us within a two or three month period was incredible. To come through that and be in the position we're in is a brilliant achievement.
“We will now do everything we can to make that count.”
He added: “We don't want all this to be to no avail. We want it to count for something come the end of the season. We don't want the heartbreak of missing out on anything.

“Everybody was together here through the bad run and that's what got us through it which is why we hope the rewards will be special come May.”
