Greg Docherty is hoping some "honest conversations'' will help Hamilton stop leaking goals.
Accies lost 4-0 at Hearts last week after being thrashed 6-0 by Rangers in the William Hill Scottish Cup in their the previous outing
Martin Canning's men sit only one point ahead of bottom side Inverness as they prepare to go to Ibrox again with Docherty hoping recent problems have been solved through frank dressing room discussions.
The 20-year-old midfielder said: "To lose 10 goals in two games is never good enough.
"From our perspective that is nowhere near where we want to be. That is not the form we should be showing.
"It has been difficult the last couple of weeks.
"We have had a lot of honest conversations. It needed to be done.
"It cleared the air a wee bit and we know that form is not good enough if we want to stay in this league.''
In what will be Pedro Caixhina's first game as Rangers manager, Docherty is looking to see the Accies side turn in the same type of performance which got them a 1-1 at Ibrox on the opening day of the season.
He said: "Rangers fans will want to see what he can do. They are going to expect a big performance.
"But at the beginning of the season we were all bang at it and everyone knew what they were doing.
"So there is no reason why we can't go there and emulate that.
"You have always got to be positive and look forward.
"We looked back at the 6-0 game and we went through it but it was down to a lot of individual errors.
"It was a cumulation of things that let us down but we know what went wrong so we can correct it.
"We have to concentrate on our game, go there on Saturday and believe we can get a result.''
