Erin Clachers seeks to ignore the "outside noise" as Hibernian Women look inward for answers amidst a difficult run-in.
A derby defeat to Hearts on Sunday sees Grant Scott's side slip only slightly, moving into second-place - just below Glasgow City on goal difference.
There has been no time for the players to wallow, however, as a trip to New Douglas Park to take on Celtic on Wednesday evening precedes Rangers' visit to Meadowbank at the weekend.
"I think we've got a talented group but we're also mentally strong, we are resilient," Clachers told the media.
"Maybe it's the fact that we are slight underdogs still to some people but we just, week after week, are just doing our jobs and we're getting the results from it.
"We know there's a lot of outside noise but for us it's just about focusing on what we do within the building.
"We're under no illusions of how tough a week it will be but we've got great resilience amongst the squad. We will need that to bounce back and keep fighting in these next two games."
Rueing their missed chances, the girls picked up their first loss in 17 league games after a second half turnaround saw Hearts take all three points at Meadowbank.
Clachers, who is on loan from fellow challengers City and has kept 10 clean sheets in 19 matches this campaign, admits there is disappointment following the defeat but believes there remains a resilient outlook within the group heading into the midweek match in Hamilton.
"I think another game is what you want when you have the disappointment of a result like at the weekend. You want the opportunity to get straight back into it. We've got that tomorrow night and we'll hopefully put right what went wrong at the weekend.
"I think having the opportunity of a game tomorrow night is what we can look forward to. Coming straight back into another game is always positive.
"Defensively, across the season, we've been solid. It's another challenge tomorrow night and one we'll just have to deal with.
"I think there's no doubt that a lot of points will be shared between now and the end of the season, so it's just about how many we can pick up and just focus on ourselves."
