West Bromwich Albion captain Jed Wallace says the struggling Baggies must target six points from two "huge" games in their battle to stay in the Championship.
Saturday's 2-0 home defeat by leaders Coventry left out-of-form Albion teetering a point and a place above the relegation zone and without a league win in 2026.
On Tuesday, they host 17th-placed Charlton at The Hawthorns before heading to second-bottom Oxford on Saturday, with pressure already mounting on boss Eric Ramsay, who was appointed just last month but is winless after eight games.
"We've lost to the league leaders and coming into this week, six points was the target for us, so we have two games now that are just huge, no getting away from it," Wallace told BBC Radio WM.
"It [Charlton] is a must-win. It's West Brom, we shouldn't be where we are, it's a privilege to play for this club and we need to start winning games."
Wallace was disappointed at conceding "so easily" to their West Midlands rivals and believed the performance was a step back from successive draws with Stoke and Birmingham.
After a run of four league matches without a goal, and just three points from their past nine games, Wallace said improvement is needed from every position in their fight against the drop.
"There's 13 games left, but regardless of what happens, people need to have a look at themselves in the short term and the long term, and we need to do better because we're letting the club down at the moment," he added.
Yet Wallace insists the lack of points is not down to a deficiency of effort or attitude.
"It matters, it's everything to the players, trust me on that," he said. "It's the last thing you think about when you go to bed at night. I'm there, I understand how everyone feels, I feel the same myself."
