Neil Harris spoke to the press and media via video link ahead of Tuesday night's clash with Derby County.
The Bluebirds go into the final three matches of the season in sixth place, as they prepare to host the Play-Off chasing Rams at CCS.
And Harris called for the Bluebirds to get back to their best as they look to secure their place in the Sky Bet Championship top six.
"We've had to work extremely hard to get to the position we are in," he said.
"We had a disappointing 72 hours. It's not damaged us a huge deal at the moment. We've got a chance now to get back on track – that's the clear message to everybody.
"We're rewarded with the position we're in because of the seven-game unbeaten run we had, and the points that we picked up in that period.
"Now we have to get back on an unbeaten run, and that starts on Tuesday night against Derby."
With just eight days left until the end of the 2019/20 regular season, Harris praised his playing squad for dealing with the frenetic nature of the past month.
"I really enjoy working with the great group of lads that come in every day," he added.
"We have to help each other and drag each other through sometimes when the games are coming thick and fast.
"It's been a really good morning in training today and we're ready for Tuesday night."
