Niko Kranjcar says Portsmouth's future will be decided in the next three games.
Pompey are hovering just above the drop zone and their next three matches are against relegation rivals Hull, West Brom and Bolton.
"The international break has given us a chance to get away from the Premier League pressure, recharge our batteries and focus on the next three games that could really be massive," said Kranjcar.
"They are against teams that are all around us and, hopefully, we can all get fresh and fit for them.
"I think we underlined the team spirit and the belief we have by coming from behind to beat Everton last time out.
"Now we have to make sure we continue that form right to the end of the season."
