Exeter’s 0-0 draw with Leyton Orient on Saturday ended a five-game losing run.

The Grecians have been in the drop zone before this season – they fell to 22nd place after losing 1-0 at Cardiff City on Boxing Day.

However, a run of four wins and a draw in their next five league games saw them climb up to 10th in League One – six points off the play-off places and seven above the relegation spots.

But having taken just seven points from 42 available since their last win – a 3-1 victory at bottom side Port Vale on 24 January, Exeter have nosedived back into the bottom four.

“We managed to bounce back and get a couple of wins and come out of that,” Wareham added.

“I have no doubt in the group of players that we have that we will do that again and I think everyone else believes that.

“It’s been a really positive few days. It was a positive game I felt against Leyton Orient too. It was a bit unfortunate that we didn’t get all three points, I feel like that’s what we deserved out of that game.

“But we have been putting on good performances, we just haven’t been getting the results which haven’t really gone our way.

“Today I’m saying to the lads and the message across these training sessions is we just can’t go by and just go through the motions.

“This next five or six weeks is the most important of probably some of the lads’ careers.

“Some of us haven’t been in this position before so it’s also a new experience and it’s just grab it with both hands and no matter if you haven’t been playing much, the whole squad is needed and I think everyone now knows that and is on board with that.”
