Reegan Mimnaugh is confident Accies will stop the rot this weekend after going on a run of seven straight defeats.
The midfielder watched his side lose narrowly to Ayr United on Saturday, with ex-Accie Josh Mullin scoring the winner for the Honest Men in a 1-0 victory at Somerset Park.
It keeps Accies six points adrift of Arbroath at the bottom of the table, with a game in hand, and after an SPFL Trust Trophy quarter-final clash at home to Clyde tomorrow night, they then host Morton on Saturday on league business.
Mimnaugh reckons Accies produced a strong showing with new signings Dylan McGowan and Tom Sparrow having solid debuts.
And the 20-year-old believes their losing streak won't extend to eight games after seeing improvements in most areas against Ayr.
He said: "With the performance, it won't be eight defeats because if we keep playing like that we won't get beat.
"We are not worrying about the run. We will take confidence from this performance and go again on Saturday.
"100 per cent there is a belief we can turn this around. Nobody thinks we've blown it.
"Everybody in the changing room is in it together.
"Back to front we were fine against Ayr but we are lacking that wee bit in the final third.
"That wee half chance to get a goal is just lacking at the moment.
"Hopefully that will come and I'm sure it will if we keep doing the right things.
"You can see from the performance against Ayr, there is a hunger and a desire. The new signings did really well, our defence was good, the midfield was good - it's just that wee final bit at the end."
Mimnaugh had a glorious chance to equalise for Accies on the stroke of half-time, but he was unable to turn the ball home from two yards out, much to the disbelief of everyone inside Somerset.
But he explained: "The chance just before half-time was hit off me, I didn't hit it off the Ayr player.
"I'm thinking I'm getting to the ball but he's managed to clear it off me from two yards out.
"I don't know how it didn't go in because every other day that chance goes in the back of the net.
"That's the kind of thing that is happening at the moment.
"We just need that luck to turn and we will be away."
