Eleven matches ago the possibility of doing so was far from being realistic.
Now we are closer and for many of us we are now near enough to hope that it might happen
But it will still take a mighty effort and slip ups by others chasing the same dream.
My concern is that some fans have already moved beyond hope to expectation and not achieving it will be seen as failure.
McCarthy would be seen as a failure.

For me failure will be if we stop playing and trying to win.
