Gary Neville says it is time for his players to show the "real Valencia" as he seeks his first La Liga win as boss.
Valencia are without a win in five league games and are away to fifth-placed Villarreal on Thursday before hosting Real Madrid on 3 January.
"I'm still comfortable we can have a very good season," said Neville, who has overseen three successive draws.
"It's time for us to get results that go with our efforts. We need to see the rewards of the work we've done."
Valencia have drawn against Barcelona, Eibar and Getafe since Neville was appointed on 2 December.
They have also advanced to the last 16 of the Copa del Rey although they dropped into the Europa League after failing to advance in the Champions League.
