Teams have bad runs and, when yours comes, you just hope it doesn&#39;t go on too long or cause too much damage.<\/p>\n<p>&quot;We all wanted to get new faces in &mdash; we knew full well that they were needed,&quot; he added.<\/p>\n<p>&quot;At times throughout the season, every team needs new faces in the right positions, but the key is picking the right times to make sure the players are available and affordable.<\/p>\n<p>&quot;Sometimes in football you need a list as long as your arm to make sure you get one or two players in and, eventually, we got Shefki Kuqi and David Edgar.<\/p>\n<p>&quot;At our level of football, it&#39;s not as easy as people think to get players in.<\/p>\n<p>&quot;We shouldn&#39;t lose sight of the fact that we had more or less our full team out on Saturday,&quot; Jenkins pointed out.<\/p>\n<p>&quot;I don&#39;t think there are any reasons (to explain the performance) apart from the fact that every side goes through a bad time.<\/p>\n<p>&quot;But I look at the bigger picture, and I think we have to remember that we have come a long way as a football club over the last few years.<\/p>\n<p>&quot;I am certainly not going to be looking for people to blame or looking for excuses.<\/p>\n<p>&quot;Sometimes refereeing decisions don&#39;t go your way and sometimes you have injuries, but you just have to accept those things and take them on the chin.<\/p>\n<p>&quot;I know that in my case, that sort of thing always makes me more determined and more committed to try harder next time. That&#39;s the attitude we all need.<\/p>\n<p>&quot;We have two home games left and I think that as ever, they are going to be key,&quot; he said.<\/p>\n<p>&quot;I thought we played well against Cardiff and Scunthorpe, and we have to get back to that against Barnsley this weekend.<\/p>\n<p>&quot;We have to stay strong and stay focused, and make sure we stay together and give all our support to the manager.<\/p>\n<p>&quot;If we do that, I have confidence that things will go for us.&quot;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Just two wins in nine games has turned what looked a near certain play off spot for Swansea City into a nervous end of season with many predicting a need to win two of their remaining three games.
