Scunthorpe United boss Nigel Adkins has urged his players to continue believing they can escape from the threat of relegation from the Championship.

A 2-0 home defeat by Wolves left the Iron one but bottom in the table, having won only six times in 28 league games this season.

However, Adkins told the Evening Telegraph: "Over the course of the last few weeks we've played some great football and not got anything from it.

"We've got to somehow turn it around and get a result. If we don't believe we can do it, then we might as well stop now.

"We've waited 43 years to get back to this level and have worked so hard to get here."
