Daniel Stendel says being able to handle the pressure will be key in tomorrow night's match against St Mirren.
The Jambos travel to Paisley for a crunch Scottish Premiership clash, and will be looking to build upon their four match unbeaten run.
They currently sit three points behind Jim Goodwin's side, and know how important a positive result can be come Wednesday night.
Stendel said: "The pressure is a big point in this game, in who can handle it better, St Mirren or us.
"Can we handle it? Why not? The pressure in the last week was high and in the next week it will also be high, and against St Mirren.
"It's a big game for both teams. When we played like we did in our last games and especially our defensive display, I think we will get the chance to win this game.
"I feel that after the last week we are in a good situation. We have stabilised in the last few weeks but we need to go forward.
"With a victory we can bring us closer together with Hamilton, Ross County and St Mirren, and St Mirren know if they win the game they can take the gap over us to six points.
"When you want to win you need to score but when you concede one, two, three goals then you need to score four goals and that is not too easy.
"We need to be patient but we need to have the confidence to say, 'OK we have the quality to score in every game we play but we need to defend better'. What we have done in the last few games is good and I want to keep this."
