Ange Postecoglou feels he still has the support of Tottenham fans despite the club finishing 11th in the Premier League.
Yesterday's 1-0 defeat to Nottingham Forest means Tottenham have lost four of their last five league games ahead of Sunday's home clash with Wolves.
Postecoglou has faced criticism for refusing to change his style, and has vowed to stick to his overall attacking philosophy despite his refusal to reap the rewards.
Full focus on Sunday.

Despite their struggles, Tottenham fans have yet to turn on the Australian and he is confident he retains their support.
“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 visible,” Postecoglou said.
“I've felt nothing but support since I've been here. I still feel the support is there. I will continue to do what I believe is the right thing to bring success to this football club, and that doesn't change.
He added: “The task is difficult at the moment because of our situation, but like most things that are difficult to get through to some extent, it is only temporary, and we will get through it and come out of it stronger.”
Postecoglou has not been helped by the lengthy injury list with Ben Davies now expected to miss 'a couple of weeks' and Radu Dragosin struggling for fitness at the weekend after being knocked out at the City Ground. Key central defenders Cristian Romero and Micky van de Ven are also missing.
Wolves are enjoying the bounce of a new manager
It's not ideal as promoted Wolves head to north London on the back of two wins under new manager Vitor Pereira, including last night's 2-0 defeat of Manchester United at Molineux Stadium.
“Another good challenge for us,” Postecoglou said of his Portuguese counterpart. They have a new coach, Vitor (Pereira), who I know very well because we have met in Asia several times. Obviously they had a great result last night. They definitely have some good players who can hurt you. We saw that last year.
“It's a really important game for us at home. Listen, we're getting through this period as best we can but we definitely need to go out there on Sunday and play football and get a result to make sure we get some momentum going into the new year.
