Preston have won four of their 11 games under Ferguson

Preston manager Darren Ferguson is hopeful his side can begin to build enough momentum to make a concerted push for the Championship play-offs.

North End moved to within seven points of sixth place following Saturday's 3-0 win over Cardiff City.

"We've got eight weeks of real sacrifice with seven games at home," Ferguson told BBC Radio Lancashire.

"We've come through a really hard run of games and we're now going into a group of winnable ones."

Preston are currently 13th in the Championship having won a third of their league games this season.

Sometimes you're better off just saying get as many wins as possible Preston manager Darren Ferguson

But Ferguson is aware their play-off hopes now rest on building a winning run.

"We just need to get some consistency," he said.

"When I first came in we were in a position that I felt we could get to the play-offs.

"But sometimes you're better off just saying get as many wins as possible and see where it takes us."
