Aston Villa boss Alex McLeish has expressed his desire to turn things around at the club amid criticism of his tenure so far.
McLeish, 53, joined the club this summer from rivals Birmingham, a move that angered some Villa fans.
He has struggled to win a lot of these fans over, with his side drawing more games than any other team in the league.
However, the Scot believes that his side can still turn their season around and prove his doubters wrong.
"I know there were a few Villa fans at the start of the season expressed dissent at me becoming a manager. That is out of my control but I know the silent majority of Villa fans have been absolutely tremendous in supporting the team home and away," said McLeish.
"I've met some of the fans and I really felt their passion but I think they felt mine as well - and I'm determined I'll get it right at this club. I do believe in one or two other seasons there have been sticky moments as well.
"This season is a bit of a rollercoaster but the points are there for us to climb the table."
Villa, who currently sit 13th in the Premier League, host league leaders Manchester City on Sunday.
