Everton boss Frank Lampard is confident winning over the supporters after defeat at home to Wolves.
Boos met the full time whistle from the home fans as another opportunity for three points slipped by, but Lampard was keen to focus on some positives.
"I've been a player for 20 years, I've seen plenty of reactions from crowds," he said.
"I can't stand here and say thanks very much for helping us play so well against Brentford and Leeds and Man City, and not expect that fans that want the team to do well and stay up - they're not going to have reactions."
Looking ahead to the coming weeks, Lampard knows it is his job to instil some positivity into the side.
"It's my job to do it [pick the side up]," he remarked.
"You go into these games understanding the quality level of the Wolves team, they take everyone to the wire at least. This can happen in football.
"It's my job to be confident, to be positive, to be realistic - and the realistic view is we've got 12 games, some games in hand on other teams around us.
"Of course they're only good if we can win them, and we're waiting probably for that moment where something turns in our favour.
"It was a difficult game for the lads today because we were ok until a cross and a clean header goes against us. Maybe that will turn in our favour.
"We can't think about 'maybes' and 'what ifs', we absolutely just have to work and fight.
"That's what these positions demand."
