Brian McBride and Erik Nevland scored in each half to register the Cottagers' first away win in the league since September 2006, a sequence spanning 33 games to leave them four points adrift of safety with four games remaining.

"Whichever two teams go down now, it will be major disappointment," he said. "We've made it hard for ourselves but we're still in the race and while you're in the race there's always the chance you'll find the sprint that will take you past your rivals."

He added: "I was told last week, after we had been beaten 3-1 by Sunderland, that we had no chance.

"We'll get good reports and judgment on our play, but we've had other games where we haven't played too badly but lost narrowly.

"This was a good performance defensively and I also thought we attacked well.

"I'm having to be careful about what I say given it was reported after the Sunderland game that I was crying.

"I'm very satisfied with the team's performance but disappointed we still have it all to do.

"We have this huge mountain to climb and deficit of points to make up but I'm encouraged after last week, which was very disappointing."
