Bojan Krkic has urged crisis club Stoke City to stick together.
The Potters are 20th after a fourth straight defeat on the spin, sitting with only the opening day point at Middlesbrough to their name.
But Bojan told The Sentinel: "Everyone is in the same boat. We are like this. It will take the staff, players and everyone to improve and turn things around. We are in it together and we will get out of it together."
He added: "It's not a good atmosphere (in the changing room) because everyone wants to win and play well but this is the reality and we have to accept facts.
"We haven't started well again but it is important remember it is just the beginning of the season. We have time to get better."
