"It's football, so you never know. You go into every job knowing the impatience of football and you need results," McClaren told reporters. "We know what the situation is and it's game to game and we're fighting for the next result.
"I wouldn't ask for (guarantees) and I wouldn't expect to receive that. I think that's demonstrated by what we do during the week and what we do on a Saturday or Sunday and that's why it's important.
"I've got confidence in these players because three weeks ago I was happy, we'd had a good two weeks going into the international break thinking that we'd turned the corner a little bit and looking forward to the challenges ahead.
"Two games later, we are where we are. That's the frustration about the job."
