Aston Villa boss Steve Bruce has warned his team that they must handle the pressure of playing for such a big club better, or risk being "swallowed" into Championship relegation trouble.
Villa's run of seven defeats in eight games in 2017 has left them within seven points of the relegation zone.
"The buck stops with me. It's my responsibility," Bruce told BBC WM.
"But we must roll our sleeves up and get back that pride which has eroded over the last six weeks," he added.
"If we don't, we're going to get swallowed into it and we can't allow that to happen.
