Bolton full-back Sam Ricketts is convinced his side can kick on and finish the season in the top 10.
However the Wales international believes it is imperative they bounce back in the derby against Blackburn on Sunday at the Reebok Stadium.
Bolton have slipped down the league after the thumping by Aston Villa - shipping 15 goals in five league games - and Ricketts is anxious to make amends.
He said: "We are more than capable of finishing in the top half. We have had a hard run of games and our performances deserved more than what we actually achieved.
"It's time now to get those extra points and to start climbing the table. If we put a couple of back-to-back wins together then people will see us fly up the table."
