Bournemouth must aim for maximum Premier League points in November to turn their fortunes after a disappointing start to the campaign, captain Simon Francis said.
Eddie Howe's side, second-bottom in the table, play promoted Newcastle United and Huddersfield Town before a trip to 17th-placed Swansea City and a home game against Burnley.
Francis is backing his team to deliver results, despite his concerns over injuries picked up by Junior Stanislas and Benik Afobe during the 1-0 defeat by Chelsea on Saturday.
'The Chelsea game was not going to make or break our season but the next three, four or five games certainly will so we have to put in maximum performances to try to get maximum points out of them,' Francis told the Daily Echo.
