Wigan Athletic defender Emmerson Boyce has urged teammates to forget their setback on Saturday against Bolton Wanderers.
Boyce says they can bounce back tomorrow night by defeating Aston Villa.
"Aston Villa is a massive club and a very good team, but if we go into that game feeling sorry for ourselves then we'll end up getting beat," Boyce told the club's website. "It's good to be able to put the Bolton result behind us and focus on the next game so soon, hopefully getting the right result.
"We don't really think about back-to-back wins so much as finding consistency in our performances. Winning well one week and letting ourselves down the next is the worrying aspect at the moment and it's something that has to put right soon, once we get that consecutive wins will come.
"We're still confident we can pull away from a relegation battle in plenty of time and enjoy the rest of the season.
"There's a few games still left to play this season and we've got to roll up our sleeves, dig-in and fight turning performances into results.
"It's getting pretty tight at that end of the table and we don't want to be down there going into the final three games fighting a relegation battle.
"We can't rely on other teams we have to learn to keep our fate in our hands and win the game we need to win. It was nice to get the win over Liverpool but this was the game we had to win, we've got Villa now on Tuesday night and another massive one on Saturday against Burnley, games we have to get good points out of."
