John Terry believes Chelsea manager Andre Villas-Boas and the players will stop the rot during a three-week period which will "define" their season.
Blues captain Terry also revealed his disappointment at being ruled out for another six weeks after being forced to undergo surgery on the knee injury that had already sidelined him for three.
Prior to Saturday's game with Bolton, Chelsea had not won in Terry's absence and the coming week will see them play league matches that will have a huge impact on whether they qualify for next season's Champions League.
Throw into the mix an FA Cup fifth-round replay and a Champions League last-16 second leg tie and it is crunch time for Villas-Boas and his stuttering side.
Terry told Chelsea's official matchday programme: "Quite simply, the next few weeks will define our season.
"I'd give anything to be involved at this time.
"During tough times, we all have to stay together as one and the players have to stand up and be counted.
"I am disappointed about having to undergo an operation, but, believe me, I tried everything to return quickly. However, I am on the mend now and I hope to be back on the pitch sooner rather than later.
"In the meantime, I have full confidence in the team and the manager to get the results we need in the coming weeks.
"We strive to continue building on the history of Chelsea - which means qualifying for the Champions League, pushing for a place at the top of the table and competing for trophies. Let's set about doing that."
