David Vaughan admits Blackpool's self-belief has taken a battering.
After a sensational first half-season, Pool have won only two of their 12 Premier League fixtures since the turn of the year..
Vaughan told the Blackpool Gazette: "Results in 2011 have definitely been disappointing. I'm not too sure why we aren't winning as many but I think teams are recognising our strengths and trying to stop us..
"We've not had much luck recently either, though we had been fortunate in other games and that tends to even itself out..
"We need a bit more belief in ourselves because it can be hard to keep your head up in a bad run."
