Skipper Scott Brown knows Aberdeen must hit upon a turning point and fast to end their dismal run.
The Dons have fallen into an alarming slump that leaves them without a win in their last nine outings in all competitions.
Stephen Glass' side can reset with victory over Dundee, the Premiership's bottom side, at Dens Park on Saturday.
Their current run includes four successive league defeats and the heat is building on Glass and his players.
But Brown is insistent their current predicament does not fairly reflect performances.
He told afc.co.uk : "We have a great bunch of lads here, a great group of staff as well.
"We have to keep believing in what we are doing and don't worry about the outside noise.
"We have not been playing that badly but we need to start winning games and getting points.
"The goals we are conceding, it is not just about what happens at the back.
"It is what happens throughout the whole team. It is all about shape. It is all about discipline.
"We need a turning point. We have been playing OK but not getting the results.
"Even there against Celtic last time out we did OK. I felt we were unlucky. We had a couple of chances and on another day they go in.
"It is just one of these things. Celtic had two shots on target and scored two goals. When your luck is not going for you, that is what happens.
"We have to keep creating the chances and I believe our luck will change. We have to keep working hard.
"We have belief in this building and in these players."
A former Celtic captain, Brown is no stranger to outside pressure.
But he maintains the greatest scrutiny being heaped on Aberdeen coming from within.
He said: "There is always more pressure on me. I have dealt with that pressure for years, being a captain.
"I have enjoyed every single moment. I understand there are going to be ups and downs and it is my job to keep everyone going.
"Most of that pressure comes from ourselves.
"It is all about us getting results now and get ourselves up that league table. We are in a position that we don't want to be in.
"The manager can only pick the team, it is up to the players to make sure we do our talking on the pitch."
