Blues caused a massive upset when they overcame Arsenal in the final at Wembley in late February. But Carr admits a combination of injuries and a loss of form means City are still not safe with four games remaining ahead of Sunday's home clash with fellow strugglers Wolves. He said: "The Carling Cup win was great obviously but the main objective coming into the season was to stay in the league and we haven't done too well since the Carling Cup win for some reason. "We probably just took our foot off the pedal, we have one or two injuries, we didn't get those performances levels up and we got punished when we were making mistakes. "Winning the cup was a bonus. Once we stay in the league then, with the cup win, it will have been a great season - but we still have to do it." Carr added: "The Carling Cup is a bonus at the end of the season for us. "I know the fans might not think that, having not won anything for so long. "But this (the Premier League) is where the money is for the club financially so we know how important it is to stay in this league. "If we win on Sunday against Wolves, it more or less takes us away from it (relegation) so it's in our own hands and that's how you want it coming to the end of the season." Carr acknowledges that having to play players when not fit and a lengthy injury list has taken its toll. He defied a broken toe himself to continue playing during the first part of the campaign. He said: "There were a lot of us going into those games with injuries. "A lot of players have got through games with injections and injuries which probably should mean they weren't playing at times. "They play on because you can keep pushing your body. Sometimes it takes is toll and maybe it did start taking its toll after the cup final win. "But there are only four games left now. It's time for the final push." Carr, who has a 12-month option remaining on his current contract which will be taken up, knows the importance of the clash with Mick McCarthy's side as they look to atone for the 1-0 defeat at Molineux earlier this season. He said: "I think throughout the whole season your home games are most important. They will keep you in the Premier League. "You look at the positions we're in now and it's vital for both teams to win the game, more so probably Wolves because they are trailing us. "But we look at our two home games we've got coming up as big chances to get six points, if we play the way we can. "The game at Molineux saw us produce one of our poorest performances this season away from home. "We know what we have to deal with and we're a different team at home, to be fair. We let ourselves down a couple of times away from home this season. "Wolves deservedly won that day. I'm sure it will be a different game come Sunday."
