Russell Martin admits Swansea City have areas to work on during the World Cup break as they bid to return to winning ways when the league schedule resumes in December.
The Swans remain firmly in the mix for a top six-place in the Championship despite going into the month-long break on the back of a five-game winless run.
Their final fixture before the Qatar tournament saw them dominate proceedings at Huddersfield Town, although the Swans were unable to get the goal their efforts warranted as the points were shared in west Yorkshire.

"Brilliant performance, it's frustrating not to win," he said. "They had their first shot on target in the 90th minute and it was from our own doing, and it led to 30 seconds of madness. We were so dominant and the lads were so brave.
"I'm really proud of them, it's been a hell of a run of games since the Hull game when things weren't looking so positive results-wise and points-wise.
"We've not lost this week, we've drawn three games and we should win all three in my opinion. This one is probably the best performance, the most dominant one.
“There are areas to improve and areas we need to add in because it’s not easy to turn games into what we saw today. We should never take it for granted because you don’t often see games that are almost attack against defence, as it was for long spells today.
“We need to add in detail to help the players more, to recreate moments in game to help us solve problems on the pitch. The players are working and running so hard for us and for the fans.
“We should have won, but I can have no complaints about the performance.”
Huddersfield registered their first shot on target in the final minute of regular time, although Steven Benda brilliantly denied Danny Ward before Nathan Wood cleared a shot from the striker off his own line.
It meant Swansea kept a clean sheet on the road for only the second time this season, with Martin's men now level on points with Millwall who occupy the final play-off place in the second tier.
And Martin lavished praise on the German goalkeeper for the significant role he has played since ousting Andy Fisher in early September.
"It's a massive save, he [Benda] has been outstanding with his feet," said Martin.
"He's as important with the ball as any other player on the pitch. Steven's been outstanding in this run of games we've had since he came into the team, really top.
"He was not needed for a huge amount but when he's called upon, he has to stay focused, concentrate and it's a massive save from a massive goalkeeper, not just physically but for us. He's been amazing.

"I'm frustrated he needed to make the save because it was a mistake from us. We've had too many of them recently and they've hurt us. To have lost on that goal, I'm not sure I'd have come in here.
"Steven, we needed the moment from him and he produced it. I feel for Steven because we have conceded goals this week that were avoidable and he couldn't have done much more than he's done, he deserves more clean sheets, for sure. Hopefully we can build off the clean sheet we got today."
Swansea return to action against Norwich City on December 10.
