Swansea boss Monk convinced they'll be safe

Swansea City boss Garry Monk remains confident of staying up after their draw with Crystal Palace.

Monk is delighted with the effort his players are putting in.

"We will be fine," he said. "If they continue to show that commitment, that appetite to win games - now with the rest we can get in between and the work we can now do with the players in terms of preparation - they'll be fine.

"But nothing's ever given to you in football. You have to earn it, and they know that."

Monk described some of his side's recent performances as "phenomenal", even though they have gone half a dozen games without a win.

"Of course you get frustrated because you're not getting what you deserve," he said. "It's human nature, isn't it?

"But I think they're enjoying themselves in terms of the way they're trying to play football and trying to win games, and the mentality they're taking into every single game.

"Obviously, when you put that amount of physical output into a game and don't get the rewards that you deserve, it is hard to take."
