He told the club's official website: "We challenge the players every day in training and every day on match days. I challenged them a few weeks to go on a run of results and if we can keep this up we can do well.
"There isn't a lot of difference in this league between the top and the bottom as the results keep showing.
"I was disappointed to draw at home to Hull, but if you'd have offered us a week like last week, we'd have taken it. If we keep maintaining the level of performances we have a chance in this division."
