Swansea City manager Bob Bradley has declared that he has "total confidence" in his own ability to save the club from relegation from the Premier League.
The American coach took over at the Liberty Stadium at the start of October and has won just two of his 10 games in charge to date, a run that has left the Swans three points from safety heading into the Christmas break.
"I have total confidence in my ability, what we're doing in training, my ability to manage guys and be a good leader," Bradley told The Mirror. "But turning that around and getting points in the short term, I always knew that was going to be the biggest challenge.
"In certain moments our ability to keep switched on for 90 minutes and take the points hasn't been good enough. Our margin for winning matches is razor thin. It means when we step on the field from start to finish we have to give our all and not make small mistakes. Some teams have a bigger margin and they can get away with a lot more. That's where we are right now.
"In some moments soft has been a fair word to describe us but in others we've just been letting our guard down and switching off. In the Premier League if you switch off there are usually players who can punish you."
Bradley has previously admitted that his next two games - home encounters with West Ham United and Bournemouth - are likely to determine whether he keeps his job.
