Blackpool manager Ian Holloway is in optimistic mood on the back of Saturday's goalless draw with Stoke City.
Despite being labelled in some quarters as a 'must win' fixture, results in and around the relegation zone mean the Seasiders remain in 17th place, with just goal difference separating them from the bottom three.
And after securing two successive draws at home, the Tangerines' boss is in buoyant mood ahead of the final three games of the season.
"We're absolutely capable of staying in this division and I'm more confident of that given the two performances that we've put in over the past two weeks,' said Holloway.
"The run-in is vital and I'm actually pleased that we've got Spurs and Man United away because our fans will be right up for those games and then we've got Bolton at home as well.
"The fans have been terrific over the past two weeks and they will be against Spurs, Bolton and certainly United and that will be key to us surviving."
The weekend's result ensured Blackpool's first clean sheet of the season at Bloomfield Road but also ended a run of scoring in every single home fixture this season, leaving 'Ollie' content with his side's endeavours.
"As a spectacle and from an attacking perspective the game wasn't the best but we looked solid and everything that they threw at us we dealt with but we just didn't quite hurt them enough in the final third.
"It's fantastic for us to get that first clean sheet at home because we've had to wait a long time for it but I'm more disappointed to lose the other record up the other end in terms of scoring in every home game.
"Given the blustery conditions it was always going to make it a more difficult encounter, I saw Stoke play Wolves last week and it was obvious that they'd hit a bit of form," added Holloway.
And after a season of unprecedented highs, the 48-year-old revealed his determination to avoid shattering the dreams of the tangerine faithful by keeping his side in the top flight.
"We've created a monster in many ways because we've given the fans their dreams but we could shatter those dreams if we don't stay up and if we do how difficult will it be to stay up next season again?
"It's a huge monster and if we did go down I'd have the challenge of getting us back up again or I won't be as good as I was the season before when we were promoted and that's the challenge facing us.
"I don't think our fans have ever experienced anything like this but they deserve it and they sing their hearts out wherever they go and I want that to continue," he concluded.
