Baggies confidence hit - Olsson

West Bromwich Albion defender Jonas Olsson admits confidence has taken a knock during the club's recent run of poor form but is sure it will recover.

The Baggies have slipped to the bottom of the Premier League after taking one point from their last six games.

"Of course your confidence gets a little slashed but the mood is still there," Olsson told BBC WM.

"It's all about results but I don't think we've been outplayed. I would be more worried if we had been."

After losing to Liverpool and Chelsea in their last two games, Albion face a run of matches against Stoke, Wigan, Portsmouth, Sunderland and Manchester City before Christmas.

With the Premier League table so tight, with four points separating 10 teams, Olsson knows it should be easier to climb off the bottom.

"We've had some tough games but now we're getting into a phase against opponents that, if we play well, we have a good chance to take three points."
