Scott Parker feels there is an "edginess" about his Bournemouth side after they were held to a 1-1 home draw by struggling Peterborough United.
The Cherries returned to the Championship automatic promotion places but had to come from behind.
"There's an expectation on us in the stadium and on ourselves and we need to realise that comes with where we are," Parker told BBC Radio Solent.
"We need to relish the opportunity as the expectation levels step up."
Bournemouth could only take a point against relegation-threatened Posh as they were unable to bounce back from defeat by Preston on Saturday.
