Macclesfield Town's assistant manager Ray Mathias has urged his team to forget all about their 3-0 defeat at MK Dons and focus on a crucial visit to Bury this weekend.
The Silkmen are still only two points clear of the bottom two and Mathias is keen for the Town squad to bounce back quickly.
He told the club's official website: "It is important we don't get too downhearted.
"We have had a tough run of fixtures on the road in recent weeks, games against sides that are challenging for promotion.
"We now have to focus on the Bury game which is massive. They have been struggling of late and it's vital we go to Gigg Lane and put them under pressure from the first whistle.
"With six or seven sides scrapping for points at the bottom every point we can pick up is going to be crucial.
"We are in a mini-league and with nine games to go it is our job to finish top of that group of clubs. If we do that we now we will be safe."
