Wales manager Chris Coleman has insisted that he is still confident of his side's chances in Euro 2016 despite a poor recent run of results.

Wales impressed in qualifying for their first major international tournament for 58 years, but their 1-0 defeat at the hands of Ukraine on Monday night made it just one win in their last six outings.

However, Coleman insists that the performances have been encouraging despite those results, and refused to criticise his players for their form since qualifying.

"Results will be what they are going to be, but I think if we're going into a tournament - our first tournament since 1958 - and we're worried about [momentum], we're looking at it all wrong. We're going into it full of positivity and full of confidence because the performances have been good," Coleman told reporters.

"I think you've got to look at the reality. I only ever have a problem with my team if they don't put out and they don't give 100% when they put the Welsh jersey on. But I can't complain about my players the way they have played.

"I think in the last six games you've got to understand who we've played against. Bosnia's never going to be easy and the home game against Israel, where we absolutely hammered them but couldn't score, was an excellent performance. Sometimes you can look at stats and get carried away with them."

Since qualifying for Euro 2016, Wales have lost friendlies against Netherlands and Ukraine, as well as drawing at home to Northern Ireland.
