Wolves boss Mick McCarthy believes his side will avoid an immediate return to the Championship if they can earn 12 more points this season.

McCarthy's team are currently only above the drop-zone on goal difference having won just six matches so far this term.

Twelve more points would leave Wolves on 36, a target which McCarthy believes is achievable.

He said: "If we get 12 points out of it, and I don't know if that will be enough, then other teams have to get 12 points.

"That's four wins. If we can win four games, the others in the bottom four or five have to win four and draw another, because we have a better goal difference.

"Burnley is a huge game for us and then we have two or three biggies. West Ham is a big one. Who's to say we can't beat them? We've got Blackburn and Sunderland here, we have Fulham away and Stoke and Portsmouth to play.

"We have winnable games right to the end of the season, so it's just a case of keeping going, keeping cool and not losing our heads at all."
