Wigan Athletic boss Roberto Martinez is confident they can beat the drop, despite Saturday's defeat at Arsenal.
The Latics remain deep in trouble, but Martinez feels his men can fight their way to safety in what is a very tight battle for survival.
"We know the challenge. I know what we need to get out of the next 15 games," Martinez said.
"Being in the bottom three now doesn't mean much. It is important we carry on with our long-term strategy.
"We have got young, very talented players.
"I don't want Wigan to be a team always fighting to avoid relegation but you need a transitional time. Two seasons is what we need to achieve that."
