Spurs skipper issues rallying cry
Ledley King believes Tottenham will be relegated if they do not improve on recent performances.
Spurs have collected just two points from their last five games and Sunday's 1-0 defeat to Wigan left them in the bottom three.
Harry Redknapp has called on his players to show more character and King shares his manager's concerns.
King accepts that Spurs are struggling for form and he feels the problems stem from a lack of focus.
The White Hart Lane skipper wants his men to stay united and rediscover the urgency that helped them enjoy a fine run earlier in the season.
"We have to improve, otherwise we'll go down. It's simple," King told the
Evening Standard.
"We need people to stand up and fight for each other, and be counted as men and as players. That has not been happening enough, which is why we find ourselves in this position.
"We're not playing well away from home, but when that happens, you have to work hard and maintain your focus."
Tottenham have dropped points in the final few minutes of several games this term and Maynor Figueroa's winning goal for Wigan came in stoppage time.
King added: "We are conceding late goals because of a lack of concentration. We are switching off, and that sums us up at the moment."
