Stoke City striker Andre Vidigal says the faltering Potters must stay mentally strong and "find a way to change it" following their five-game winless Championship run.
After winning two of their first three matches this season, Sunday's 3-1 home defeat by Hull City has left Alex Neil's men 20th.
Despite unrest among the fans, Vidigal says the players must stay positive.
"You have to be strong mentally. We have to keep our heads up," he said.
"If you put your head down and you give up you can't change anything.
"The fans are here supporting us every week and we know we have to do better.
