SYLVAIN DISTIN insists the Everton players' resolve to turn their season around will not suffer despite shows of public discontent at Goodison Park.[LNB]The Toffees were booed off the pitch following their last home game, the woeful 4-1 defeat by promoted West Brom which saw them slump to within two points of relegation.[LNB]David Moyes' side responded with a vastly improved performance at Stamford Bridge to secure a point, and Distin, who helped steady the ship in West London, enjoyed the chance to draw a line under the last home game.[LNB]The 32-year-old said: 'The good thing is we are a solid group. We don't really need to say much. There was no need for a get together, when we say 'Come on guys, we have to react'. We knew. We knew what we'd done wrong, and we knew we had to do something about it.[LNB] 'That's the beauty of football every single week. You can start from scratch and prove the newspapers, or the fans wrong.[LNB]'It was tough against West Brom because our fans booed us a bit and you don't want that. But we provided the right reaction.'[LNB]The experienced centre half believes consistency is the key to recapturing the form of the second half of last season, and that they must win the physical battle first against Wigan on Saturday.
