Everton boss David Moyes is intent on keeping the club up and about following the midweek win over league leaders Manchester City.
The Toffees produced a solid performance to down City 1-0 at Goodison Park on Tuesday and Moyes is looking to repeat the dose at bottom-placed Wigan Athletic tomorrow.
"Nearly every question I've had has been of a negative nature about what is happening off the pitch or results.
"But the players certainly gave the fans something to shout about in midweek and the performance against Manchester City was great. We've not had many days like that recently.
"What a difference it makes if you win one which maybe you are not expected to, you play above your station and the players respond. It gives everyone a lift.
"Hopefully the last few days show, with a little bit of cash, we can try to make something work and give the supporters something to be excited about.""It's a long time since I have been able to talk positively," said the Scot.
