SHANE Cansdell-Sherriff says Burton Albion need to improve fast as the chasing pack in League Two closes the gap.
The Brewers were the early-season pace-setters but the defeat by Morecambe was a blow.
"We started well but that's gone now and it's about now – we've come to an important part of the season," said the central defender.
"Fortunately enough, because we got a good start, it (the bad run) hasn't killed us and taken us back down the table 10 places.
"We've been fortunate enough to stay at the top but we need to put it right so we can carry on otherwise teams will catch up."
Cansdell-Sherriff bemoaned more poor defending from Albion as Morecambe grabbed two goals in two minutes.
"It's again silly mistakes," said the 31-year-old. "It's frustrating and annoying."
