Ange Postecoglou feels he still has the support of the Tottenham fans despite the club sitting in 11th place in the Premier League.
Yesterday’s 1-0 defeat at Nottingham Forest means Spurs have lost four of their last five league games heading into Sunday’s home game with Wolves.
Postecoglou has faced criticism for refusing to change his approach, vowing to stick to his all-out attack philosophy despite it refusing to reap rewards.
Full focus on Sunday.

Despite their struggles, Spurs fans have yet to turn on the Australian and he is confident he retains their backing.
“They love their football club, they care about their football club and they want their football club to succeed. They make those feelings and emotions seen,” said Postecoglou.
“I haven’t felt anything but support since I have been here. I still feel that support is there. I will keep doing what I think is the right thing to bring success to this football club, that doesn’t change.
“The task is difficult at the moment because of our situation, but like most things that are fairly difficult to traverse, it is only temporary, we will get through it and come out stronger.”
Postecoglou has not been helped by a lengthy injury list with Ben Davies now expected to miss a “couple of weeks” and Radu Dragusin battling to be fit for the weekend after limping off at the City Ground. First-choice central defenders Cristian Romero and Micky van de Ven are also sidelined.
Wolves enjoy new manager bounce
It is not ideal with resurgent Wolves heading to north London on the back of two wins under new boss Vitor Pereira, including last night’s 2-0 defeat of Manchester United at Molineux.
Postecoglou said of his Portuguese counterpart: “Another good challenge for us. They have a new manager in Vitor [Pereira] who I know pretty well because we crossed paths in Asia a couple of times. Obviously they had a great result last night. They definitely have some quality players who can hurt you. We saw that last year.
“A real important game for us back at home. Listen, we are getting through this period as best we can but we certainly need to go out there on Sunday, play our football and get a result to make sure we get some momentum going into the new year.”
