Britton backs Swans to get out of hole
Leon Britton admits Swansea find themselves in a tough spot, but has backed the team to get out of it.
The Swans currently sit 19th in the Premier League, level on points with bottom side Sunderland and six points from safety.
Bob Bradley has taken over from Francesco Guidolin, but they are still to win under the American in the league.
Club captain Britton acknowledges there is not much confidence in the squad at the moment, but has called for unity to try to turn things around.

He said: “Since we’ve come into the Premier League we’ve done very well – finishing as high as eighth and winning the League Cup.
“But right now we’re not in a good run of form and are struggling.
“We need to perform better as players and, more importantly, get points.
“The confidence is low, there is no doubt about that. But when you get a win it lifts confidence.
“It’s a tough moment for us, but you need to remain professional and work hard in training to ensure you are ready to do everything you can to help the team pick up points.
“Training this week has been different because the international contingent are away, but when they are back I’m sure we will all sit down with the manager and go through the last performance and try to rectify it when we play at Everton.
“We all want to change the results on the field. The supporters have always been brilliant to us, and we want to turn this around for them.
“I know it’s been a difficult period for the fans, but their support is so important to us.
“We can only get out of this position by sticking together and, hopefully, we can get a positive result at Everton to help start turning our form around.”
