Three League games in and just two points to show but Michael Duff insists that it’ll take time for him to get things right at Swansea City.<\/p>\n
The 1-1 draw against Coventry City matched the opening day result against Birmingham sandwiching the disappointing loss at West Brom last weekend.<\/p>\n
And with high flying Preston North End up next at Deepdale Duff is keen to remind fans that thr transition between managers won’t happen overnight.<\/p>\n
In being fair yesterday showed a much tougher side defensively to the Swans and there were signs of better passages of play albeit with a lack of creativity and pace in midfield.<\/p>\n
“It’s never going to happen overnight,” Duff said.<\/span><\/p>\n “The same things happened at my last two clubs. I didn’t win a game for 10 games at Cheltenham, 18 months later we won the league.<\/span><\/p>\n “The same thing happened at Barnsley. We were seventh or eighth or ninth in the league for the first three months, then were the most in-form team in the country from November on.<\/span><\/p>\n “I want to win as much as anyone else. I also understand there’s a process, a step by step. In this league, no-one comes along and says ‘there’s a win’.<\/span><\/p>\n “At the minute there are a lot of things changing.<\/span><\/p>\n “You are trying to change a mentality of a group, you are trying to change a style of play, you are trying to change the way we defend in certain moments.<\/span><\/p>\n “It’s been a good week, probably the best week we have had on the training ground. There are some things we’ve worked on that came out, but still loads of things we can improve on which is a positive.<\/span><\/p>\n “It’s football. I’m not na\u00efve – you don’t win for 15-20 games, I won’t be sat here.<\/span><\/p>\n “But the fear of the sack doesn’t drive me, it doesn’t get me out of bed in the morning.<\/span><\/p>\n “I get out of bed because I like working, I like trying to improve people, I like trying to improve the culture and environment of the club.<\/span><\/p>\n “We will get them in on Monday morning and try to improve again.”<\/span><\/p>\n
