Wigan Athletic midfielder James McCarthy has expressed his desire to help his side push on and continue their recent good form.
The Latics have lost just once in their last eight games, a run that includes a win against Liverpool at Anfield, to significantly boost their chances of Premier League survival.
McCarthy believes that it is about time his side started picking up points, and is eager to help ensure they keep on doing so in order to maintain their Premier League status.
"We have done really, really well [recently] and just not come up with the finishing touch," said the 21-year-old.
"Thankfully [against Stoke] Antolin [Alcaraz] has come up with the first and Victor [Moses] the second - two great goals and hopefully that can kick us on. It is about time, to be honest. We have been through sticky patches, myself included.
"I have not scored this season which is disappointing. But the main thing is Wigan and if I can do a job and we win, I will do that all day. We went to Anfield and got three points and if we keep sticking as a group we will be fine."
Wigan still sit 19th in the table, but are now just one point behind 16th-placed Bolton Wanderers.
