Montgomery down on survival hopes

18 April 2011 12:00
Sheffield United skipper Nick Montgomery conceded it would be "virtually impossible" for the Blades to escape relegation after Saturday's defeat at Preston. Micky Adams' side slumped to a fourth straight defeat and are now eight points adrift of safety with four games left. Montgomery said: "It's virtually impossible now but as long as it's still possible we need to stay positive. "That is what the fans deserve. There will be a lot of rebuilding in the summer."
