Stoke City boss Mark Robins says he is trying to keep things calm going into Saturday's latest relegation crunch game at Cardiff City.
After being denied three points by an injury-time equaliser from 23rd-placed Luton Town at the Bet365 Stadium, Robins' Potters now take on 22nd-placed Cardiff City.
Cardiff are two points better off than Luton and a home win - coupled with Derby County winning at Portsmouth - would dump Stoke in the bottom three.
But Robins knows that it is down to him to talk positively, back his players and keep the nerves out of his dressing room.
"Unfortunately I've come into a situation when I knew this may be possible and it's proving that way," he said. "But I love the job and this is part of the job.
"I'm just trying to get us over the line this season and then we will look to what we can do in the future so that we don't see this happen anymore.
"There are good players, there really are. They have the talent which they can utilise to help benefit us for the rest of this season and beyond.
"There have been circumstances around this season that I don't want to see again. There have been too many players who have missed too much football for whatever reason. At the end of all this we have to make sure that those things don't happen. But it's the here and now that matters."
After Saturday's trip to South Wales, the Potters host Sheffield Wednesday on Good Friday before two games in five days against two of the top three - away to Leeds United on Easter Monday and a Friday night visit of Sheffield United - then the final-day trip to John Eustace's Derby.
