Falkirk manager John Hughes is in no doubt that his side will soon start to climb the SPL table.
The 1-0 home defeat to Aberdeen left the Bairns rooted to the foot of the table, but Hughes insists there is no cause for concern.
"We need to keep believing in what we're doing at this club and what we're trying to achieve," Hughes told the Falkirk Herald. "We must keep the faith.
"Yes, we're in 12th place right now, but let's put things into perspective. Last season we were sitting on nine points from the first quarter - after 11 games played.
"This time around we have seven with two matches still to go. That means we can possibly match, or even surpass last year's total.
"While we budget to finish ninth each season, last year we eventually got ourselves in the position of needing two points from two games to get into the top six."
