Derby County boss Wayne Rooney insists they can still beat the drop from the Championship.
Derby are rock bottom of the league with only one point to their name after being docked 12 points for going into administration in September and then deducted a further nine in November after admitting breaches of the EFL's accounting rules.
"If you don't believe, then we may as well all go home," Rooney said in an interview with ESPN.
"Football is a crazy game at times, and crazy things happen. If we can make the fans smile for 90 minutes or give them the hope we can achieve something, we will do everything we can to do that."
"The table doesn't lie," he said. "However we look at it, it is not going to be good for next two or three weeks. But I believe that, come February-March, we can look at the table and say we have got a chance or we will get relegated, will have a better understanding of where we are at."
