Under-pressure Stoke City boss Michael O'Neill says they must get through their current "testing time" and stop a growing habit of leaking late goals.
The Potters have sunk to 15th in the Championship and have not won in six league and cup matches.
In five of those six games they have leaked a goal in the last 10 minutes and, in the other, they twice let slip a lead against Birmingham City.
"We've let in a lot of late goals in recent weeks," O'Neill said.
"It's easy to say to keep believing but it has created a lot of frustration in the stadium - and it's not easy to have a message for the fans when we've played as we have.
