Valerien Ismael did not rule out an unlikely play-off finish for Blackburn Rovers but insists they must do their job before worrying about other results.
Rovers need to win their last two league games to stand any chance of a top-six finish.
They also need Luton Town to beat Coventry City this weekend and hope Millwall don't win both of their final two matches. A draw on the final day between Coventry and Middlesbrough would then see Rovers achieve what seemed impossible three weeks ago.
However, a hat-trick of wins for Rovers has been built on focusing purely on their own performances. In many ways, the pressure of play-offs hasn't been there and has produced the best results.

"We have to do our job to stay focused on our performance. What I expected from the boys is just to carry on that performance," Ismael insisted.
"Focus on ourselves, what we have to do from minute one. The belief that the players put into the game, into the game plan, we expected just to make sure we are doing the right thing on the pitch and we go from there.
"Just focus on ourselves and at the end of the day we will see. We know that in football everything is possible, but just be focused on the next game and be tough enough.
"I think that the support is massive. I think that the boys deserve it. Recently we went through a tough period. Nobody expected that, but you see that in football everything is possible.
"Suddenly everyone wants to have more. The game against Millwall shows what we are able to do and we have to build on that. If we are doing the right thing on the pitch, the fans will be 100% behind us, behind the boys.
"We can create that togetherness and this is what we expected. First, put the performance first on the pitch and the support will come."
Ismael is facing Watford for the first time after being sacked by the club last season. He reflects fondly on his time at Vicarage Road despite their brutal hire-and-fire policy.
"Yes, it was an experience like no other. This is a great club, great players. For sure there is pressure everywhere," he said.
"Every club has its own way to work. You have to deal with it, but as I said, it was a great experience for me to work there.
"Sometimes in football, everything goes quickly, even in the Championship. That period of time ended in January and we were unbeaten in the full month.
"You think you are right and close to the play-off spot. Then come February with a lot of games, a re-play in the Cup, injured players, and exactly the same run I had in this bad time. It's not unusual in the Championship."
He continued: "It's a team with a lot of individual quality. Very good players, able to make the difference at any time. Quite young this season, but still a team who are able to win games.
"They have enough quality to do the job. We know how difficult it is. Another way to play, maybe more suitable for us."
