Toulouse, the four-time European champions, have lost their last four matches and find themselves down in ninth spot.

Their last win on the road came eight months ago and things will not get any easier against Bayonne, live on Sky Sports 2 HD.

However Noves remains confident Toulouse can end their worst losing run for 36 years.

"This situation is a bit new for me but when we have responsibilities, it doesn't help anyone to get worried. You have to find solutions," Noves said.

"It's always complicated when you're not winning.

"As for the match at Bayonne on Friday, we'll go there with a very competitive team, believe you me.

"Toulouse, and I've been telling people this for several years, will one day no longer play in the European Cup.

"But I have confidence in our leaders, our squad and our club, and before speaking about a battle to stay up, please be a little patient."
