Even a nightmare mistake from keeper Arijanet Muric - allowing a gentle back pass from Sander Berge to trickle over the line following a schoolboy miscontrol - could not dent Bellamy's optimism.

"I honestly believe we are going to get out of this situation. I believe we are going to stay up, I really do.

Bellamy added: "We know the position we're in, here we go again.

"We will recover, have a good look at Sheffield United on Monday. We'll go through the plan, go through the week. The players will be fine because they have shown their strength of character throughout all of this.

"Is it rainbows and unicorns? I don't know. It's up to the manager to transfer this to the players.
