Alan Sheehan says Swansea City must roll their sleeves up and prepare for another scrap when they host Plymouth Argyle on Wednesday (19:45 BST).
Swansea overcame Derby County in a dire game last Saturday, with Eom Ji-Sung's late goal lighting up an otherwise forgettable contest.
After a victory which eased their own relegation worries, Swansea now turn their attention to a meeting with an Argyle side who are bottom of the table and desperate for points.
Miron Muslic's team are showing signs of life, however, having beaten Norwich City at the weekend to make it seven points from their past four games.
"At this time of the season, with single figures left in games, people are fighting for their lives," said Swansea caretaker boss Sheehan.
"Derby were, Plymouth are - we have to match that in every game.
"Yes I understand that sometimes you'd like to do it in style, but it's difficult right now against the teams we are coming up against.
"It is all about finding a way. I'd rather win ugly I suppose than lose pretty, if that makes sense. That's where we are at right now."
Sheehan says he has no fresh injury concerns going into a game Muslic has billed as must-win for his team.
The Pilgrims, who still have to face promotion-chasing Sheffield United, Middlesbrough, Coventry City and Leeds United this season, have the worst away record in the Championship, having taken only nine points on their travels in 2024-25.
But four of those points have come in their previous two away fixtures, with their solitary win on the road coming at Portsmouth last month.
"Every team raises their level by 5% at this time of year," Sheehan added.
"They are a team we have to be aware of and try to give the best version of ourselves."
