Sunderland striker Steven Fletcher is confident they'll beat the drop this season.
Sunderland meet Crystal Palace tomorrow night.
Fletcher suffered the drop with both Burnley and Wolves and has spent much of his two years at the Stadium of Light in the bottom three.
"The clubs I have been at, I'm used to it," said Sunderland's two-goal top scorer.
"The ups and downs, I am used to that kind of thing with being at Burnley and being at Wolves, so I kind of just take each day as it comes.
"But there are only a few players who can say they have been used to winning ways - I'd say that's Sheasy (John O'Shea) and Wes (Brown), maybe Adam Johnson at some stage at Man City.
"But if we can put a good run together, we should move out. We know we have got the ability to stay in this league, the players we have got, you see it in training every day, some of the performances from the lads.
"But we just need to do it as a team and do it on a Saturday, or on a Monday. Obviously if we could be safe before we were last year, it would be a bit better, but we know we have got the team to get through a bad situation, like we showed last year."
