Bolton Wanderers midfielder Mikel Alonso has no doubts that Sammy Lee's side will soon be moving out of the relegation zone and up the Premier League table.
Lee's side have taken only five points from their opening nine fixtures in sharp contrast to their progress in the last few seasons under former boss Sam Allardyce.
Alonso, who moved to the Reebok Stadium on a loan deal from Real Sociedad in the summer, is under no illusions about the task that lies ahead, but is confident in his team-mates' determination to turn the season around
The Spanish midfielder said: "Football is big pressure because there are a lot of people involved with a lot of things.
"But this is the job, this is the work. We know there's pressure, and when things go wrong the pressure increases, and the importance of getting points, and getting a victory, is bigger."
Alonso has made nine appearances for Wanderers so far this term.
