Sheffield United boss Chris Wilder insists no-one is giving up on their survival chances.
The Blades meet Luton Town this weekend.
Wilder said, "No I never give up on hope and even if the league table says that's us done and dusted, there's always something to play for, in my opinion.
"So game by game, you come to accept it and you have to accept it in the position that we're in, that there's going to be an opinion on you and you have to take that on the chin because there's no hiding place.
"It's the Premier League, it's streamed, it's broadcast worldwide and everything that goes with it, that everybody enjoys. we all enjoy being part of it.
"The downside of it is when you're not doing as well as you want to do, then you have to receive that criticism, which we will receive and I will receive that fully and hope to turn that into a positive going forward."
