Blackburn Rovers chairman John Williams still believes that his club have a chance of qualifying for next season's UEFA Cup.
Rovers face an uphill task after results in the FA Cup mean that only fifth place in the Premier League is guaranteed a European spot next season.
The Ewood Park club are currently seventh in the standings, ten points adrift of fifth-placed Everton.
However, Williams told the Lancashire Evening Telegraph: "We've got to keep going and hope that we can get one of those European spots.
"There are still 27 points to play for this season and we've got to get as many points as possible. I suspect there's going to be plenty of twists and turns along the way.
"Personally, I feel we've still got a good chance, but we've got to look to take maximum points in every game.
"The FA Cup results now mean fewer UEFA Cup places in the Premier League, but like most things in life, you've got to do things yourself.
"The onus is now on us to reach the highest position we possible can."
