Portsmouth defender Sylvain Distin admits the club are in a relegation battle.
Tony Adams' side are only three points above the drop zone despite a recent improved run of form including a 1-1 draw at Tottenham.
Distin has called on his team-mates to match their display at White Hart Lane for the rest of the season if they want to avoid a dogfight in the final few months of the campaign.
"We are in a relegation battle right now. It's not an enjoyable position," Distin told the Portsmouth News.
"The season is not finished yet and we will be okay if we play like we did at Spurs. But right now we are in a relegation battle. There is no point crying about it - we have to fight.
"We have to work hard together to get out of this position. I've never known a league like it. It's amazing. With two good results you are in the top eight, and two bad results we are in the bottom three. We have to be consistent to turn things around.
"We can't afford to think we are in a game when a point would be good. We need points. That is the situation we are in and we need to turn it around.
"We need to stick by the team and fight."
