Jermaine Wright is hoping for a fairytale ending to the "biggest game of his career" tomorrow.

The 32-year-old suffered relegation from the Premiership on the final day with George Burley's Ipswich in 2002.

However, he said the pain of that would pale into insignificance compared to the embarrassment of dropping into League One.

That is a black mark Wright has no intention of seeing forever etched onto his footballing CV.

"It's the biggest game of my career and, as players, we have just got to stay focused," he said. "I got relegated with Ipswich from the Premiership, but that's a different scenario.

"We shouldn't be where we are. With Ipswich we were expected to be relegated.

"It all comes down to one game - our season depends on one game. We're at home, it's a sell out, everything's in place for a fairytale ending."

But Wright believes the players can take heart from their display in the 1-1 draw at West Brom on Monday, ahead of the Sheffield United game.

"It's the biggest game of the season," he said. "Monday night was the biggest and now it's turned to Sunday.

"We've given ourselves a bit of a chance with the result at West Brom.

"We should have got the points in the bag earlier, but we've given ourselves a fighting chance to get out of it.

"We know we're relying on other results, but if we win our game all the others have got to win theirs."

Wright said the fans will be crucial to the side's chances of success tomorrow.

"We need them, they will be like a 12th man to us," he said.

"It's a sell out and they were unbelievable at West Brom on Monday.

"They've been good all season and they've been through a lot, so hopefully we can give them something on the last day and we can all go home happy."
