The R's are now eight points above the relegation zone and eight points behind the top six after Sunday's 3-0 win over Stoke City.

Delaney, 26, told BBC London 94.9: "No one is under any illusions, but as long as it's mathematically possible we'll keep trying."

QPR travel to the Ricoh Arena on Wednesday to face struggling Coventry.

Meanwhile, midfielder Mikele Leigertwood, who hit two goals in Sunday's victory, refused to get carried away by the side's recent run.

"You've got to be realistic as a few bad results and we'll be looking the other way again," he told BBC London 94.9.

"Obviously, everyone wants to get promoted and we'll be looking to get as high up the table as possible."
