Monk can't contemplate the drop
The Welsh side have won admirers since their elevation to the Premier League and lie 15th after taking nine points from their opening nine games. It should have been 11, after they squandered a two-goal lead in the final six minutes to draw with Wolves on Saturday, but Monk told the South Wales Evening Post: "We need to make sure the two points doesn't cost us at the end of the season but I am not even thinking about relegation. "We have the quality in the squad to do well in this league and we have shown that. If we can come to a team like Wolves, who have been in the Premier League for a long time, and play them off the park, we'll be okay. "Saturday was a real injustice but it's got to be a learning curve for us. "We are bitterly disappointed, but I do realise that we've set down another marker. If there are not three worse teams than us this season I will shoot myself."
