Ange Postecoglou feels that Tottenham Hotspur are still 11th in the Premier League but still have the support of the Tottenham Hotspur fans.
Yesterday's 1-0 defeat at Nottingham Forest has made it four losses for Spurs in their last five league games and they are at home to Wolves on Sunday.
Despite refusing to reap the rewards, Postecoglou has faced criticism for sticking to his all-out attacking philosophy and refusing to change his approach.
Focus on Sunday.

Despite the struggles, Spurs fans are confident the Australians will not open and will retain their backing.
“They love their football team. They care about their football team and want their football team to succeed. They make those feelings and emotions visible,” says Postecoglou.
“Since I've been here, I've had nothing but support. I still feel the support is there. I will continue to do what I believe is the right thing to do to bring success to this football club. This does not change.
“The job is hard right now because of our situation, but like most things that are hard to get through, it's only temporary and we'll get through it and get stronger.”
Postecoglou has not been helped by the long-term injury list, with Ben Davies expected to miss “a couple of weeks” this week and Radu Dragusin struggling for fitness at the weekend after tripping at the City ground. First-choice centre-backs Cristian Romero and Micky van de Ven have also been sidelined.
Wolves love the return of a new manager.
A resurgent Wolves under new manager Vitor Pereira won't be fit to travel to North London after they lost 2-0 to Manchester United at Molineux last night.
“Another challenge for us,” Postecoglou said of his Portuguese counterpart. We have a new manager in Vitor (Pereira), who I know very well, because he has been through Asia twice. Obviously, we had good results last night. They definitely have quality players who can hurt you. We saw that last year.
“Homecoming is a really important game for us. listen We're making the most of this time, but going out on Sunday. I'm sure we can go into the new year with good momentum to play football and get a result.”
