Swansea City are in a perilous position in the Championship after five straight league defeats.

The Swans are outside the division's relegation places on goal difference alone, and face crucial fixtures against Oxford United and Portsmouth over the next eight days.

We asked you, Swansea's fans, how concerned you were with the position Vitor Matos' team find themselves in.

Here is a selection of your responses.

Mark: Very worrying times, we seem to be going backwards each season and even with a 'successful' transfer window we are once again all at sea. Players fade after 30 minutes in every game and clearly do not have passion and heart for the club, each other, the manager or the fans.

Paul: It's not a good changing room at the moment, to be 2-0 up thinking we've won the game at West Brom is a massive mistake, there needs to be a bit more confidence in the squad.

Iwan: I'm not worried yet as the standard of players are better than the competition around the bottom of the league, although I might answer differently in two weeks.

Will: It strangely resembles when we got a relegated from the Premier League - years of slow decline, reckless summer spending and sacking managers right, left and centre. Are there going to be three teams worse than us? A tough question to answer right now. Yes, I am worried about Swansea!

Mike: Two absolute must-win games at home. Win and the outlook is a lot less bleak. Lose or draw and we really are looking in trouble. Matos is new to management and that was a huge gamble to appoint him. I hope the boys upstairs did their due diligence. Personally would have liked a more experienced manager but will support and back the club regardless.

Aaron: As a Swansea fan for the last 20 years or so, I'm the most concerned I've been for a while. So much faith was put into Alan Sheehan that he got the long-term gig and a lot of new promising young lads turned up. Yet almost everything has gone wrong.
