Swansea City captain Ashley Williams says his side are slowly getting their confidence back after a 0-0 draw at Crystal Palace.
The stalemate stretched Swansea's unbeaten run to three games, the first time they have achieved the feat since early September.
"Confidence is slowly coming back and you can only get confidence by performing well," Williams said.
"You can see the guys are trying to play out of tight situations, which they maybe wouldn't have done earlier this season."
Williams also heaped praise on the Swansea defenders, who helped claim a third consecutive clean sheet in the Premier League.
"We kept another clean sheet, which is really pleasing, as well as another point towards where we want to be," Williams added.
"I think it was our best defensive display of the season. We had to defend a lot of crosses and, as a unit, the desire and heart was there for everyone to see."
Swansea, who are fourth from bottom in the table after 19 games, travel to sixth-placed Manchester United on Saturday.
