Bournemouth midfielder Andrew Surman maintains his side are still involved in a relegation battle.
His admission comes despite the Cherries moving nine points clear of the bottom three with Saturday's 2-0 victory over Swansea City.
Bournemouth, who are 11th in the standings, picked up just two wins in nine games at the end of last season.
Surman is desperate for an improved performance this time around heading into the final phase of the season.
