Newcastle boss Steve McClaren has told his team to start picking up points away from home.
United bounced back from a 3-0 mauling at Everton with a 1-0 victory over West Brom at St James' Park last weekend.
McClaren's men face a tough trip to Chelsea on Saturday, which is live on Sky Sports, and has suggested that points away from home could be the key to their Premier League survival.
"It was a massive win [against West Brom] - we sat here still smarting from the Everton result and performance, and looking for a reaction, and that's all we ask," he said.
"We showed real character and guts in front of 50,000 demanding a reaction. They did it but that's the frustrating thing with this team - the consistency. We are starting to get it and we need to start transferring it to away games and picking up points there."
Chelsea have stabilised under interim manager Guus Hiddink and are unbeaten in nine Premier League games, though six of those have been draws.
McClaren added: "I don't really sense any nervousness in Chelsea. Guus Hiddink's come in and done a great job, settled the squad down, got them back to being hard to beat. They are 11 games unbeaten [in all competitions] but I know they've drawn quite a few.
"They've got so many talented players so they're very dangerous opponents. But our focus is on us, not them. We are going there to win and that's what we've done all season. That won't change.
"We always say it's the next game and forget any history. They're capable of winning games at home. We've got a record there but we've got to go there with no fear."
After the trip to London, and with no games in 18 days, Newcastle will fly to La Manga in Spain for a training camp, with their next Premier League game at Stoke on March 2.
"The trip to La Manga is not a mid-season jolly," McClaren said. "We could have gone to warmer climates and more luxurious places for that. It's a camp.
"We need togetherness because after Stoke it's game after game and the most critical part of the season - the last 10. We are still in a battle to get out of the bottom-three."
