Saturday's 2-0 win against Peterborough put the League One leaders on 90 points meaning they need a maximum of seven more – but almost certainly six because of their superior goals difference over Rotherham – with five games left.

The Millers, who trail them by 12 points in third place, have their game in hand at Sheffield United tomorrow night.

And the Wolves head coach insisted his side – now just two points short of equalling a club record points haul from 1988-89 – must go flat out for the six more points needed after matching the 1923-24 best milestone of 23 clean sheets in the league at the weekend.

"It looks like we need around 96 points to make sure of going up," said Jackett, whose side have the most points in the country, one more than promoted Championship leaders Leicester, albeit from one game more.

"We'll be attacking every game and getting as many points as we possibly can.

"But we're looking at each game individually. It's the best thing for the players because sometimes if you look at the overall picture, you can take your eye off the ball.

"It's about concentrating on the next game, and then the overall situation will look after itself. We're in a good position and want to capitalise on it."

Jackett reiterated he won't be getting out his calculator because he feels it's counter-productive.

"If you keep staring at the table, working at the maths and don't concentrate on your football, the likelihood is you won't get the points," he said.

"If we can get promoted, hopefully we can build on it because we're trying to build something positive here after a couple of negative seasons.

"We've taken good strides in doing that but have to continue."
