Luton Town manager Jack Wilshere says his squad need to "have more belief" as they battle for promotion in League One.
The Hatters are currently eighth in the table, four points adrift of the play-off places, following a run of two wins in their past six matches.
They have lost their previous five away games, including Saturday's defeat at leaders Cardiff City, and visit Wigan on Wednesday.
"We have to have more belief, and courage, which shows up in different ways," Wilshere told BBC Three Counties Radio.
"Clearly there's an issue away from home which I have to find the answer to. We have to look within ourselves, within the dressing room.
"Away from home we have to cut out those moments where we don't recognise the importance of keeping the ball, and when you do regain it - having a spell, especially against teams like [Cardiff], to take the sting out of the game, to kill their momentum.
"We've done that a lot to teams this season, but away from home we can't seem to do it at the moment."
Luton have won just four away league matches all season, two under former boss Matt Blomfield, and two under Wilshere, who was appointed in October.
And the former Arsenal and England midfielder hopes that his side's mentality away from home is not suffering because of their recent poor results on the road.
"As a player I never felt that, and I want the team to believe that wherever we're going to go, we're trying to win a game and we can win a game," added Wilshere.
"We try to set the team in that way to do so. I hope it's not, but maybe it is."
Whilst Luton are challenging for an immediate return to the Championship, Wigan Athletic are battling against relegation back to the bottom tier of the Football League for the first time since the 1990s.
The Latics apointed Gary Caldwell as their new manager for his second spell at the club on Monday, and Wilshere has warned his team to expect a difficult evening.
"We've got a lot of respect for Wigan, like we did Cardiff," said the Hatters boss.
"In this league, they're going to make it hard for us, they're going to be aggressive, they're going to press us high.
"We have to make sure that we land on second balls, that we win duels and we're better at recognising the moment to take care of the ball."
