McAnuff: Play-off bid unlikely

The Royals were in the relegation zone in January but a run of nine wins in 11 games has seen them shoot up the table and after Saturday's 1-1 draw with West Brom, Brian McDermott's men are nine points short of the top six with eight games left.McAnuff said: "The play-offs have always been a bit of a stretch. We've been on a great run but we need teams above us to really fold."All we can do is focus on our games and play well and see wherever we end up. I think we're pretty safe now so that's a relief. It's nice to be looking up instead of down."We would have liked the three points against West Brom but it shows how far we've come being down about drawing against a team who look like going up."It was a tough week and on the whole it was a decent point."
