Hull City chairman Paul Duffen remains confident the Tigers can rid themselves of their current malaise and start to climb the Championship table.
Heavy defeats to Preston and Southampton in the last week have seen City slip to 14th in the table, but Duffen is refusing to panic.
He told the Hull Daily Mail: "If I'd have been told that we'd be sitting in 14th place on 27 points at this stage, I'd have been happy.
"Of course, the last four games have been disappointing but it's a marathon and not a sprint.
"Everyone at the club shares the frustration, but the players don't become bad players overnight. I'm very happy with the talent we've got here.
"I'm very confident that we've got the right players and right management team to do well this year."
