Stephane Mbia believes Queens Park Rangers can still survive the drop despite enduring a disastrous season so far.
QPR are currently rooted to the bottom of the Premier League but the summer arrival from France remains optimistic.
"Sure, the short term looks difficult because we haven't won enough games but this is a challenge," Mbia told the Guardian.
"We have senior players in the squad who can inspire the others and, even if this is all new to me, I have experience.
"I have come from a club expecting to challenge for the title to one struggling at the bottom but we can survive. Yes, yes, yes, we can survive.
"We're learning every week. We have a manager who will get the best out of us so, if we stay united and keep working, it'll come."
