Queens Park Rangers boss Chris Ramsey has insisted that confidence is high among his players despite the threat of relegation.

Five consecutive defeats have left the R's in 19th place in the Premier League table, four points adrift of safety.

However, Ramsey has claimed that the squad is still hopeful of avoiding the drop during the final few weeks of the campaign.

"I believe that we've got the capacity to survive in this league. I really do – and the players do as well," he told the club's official website. "You wouldn't believe we are where we are when you see the confidence of this group of players.

"There's no doom and gloom here. We're as upbeat as we can be in this situation. Despite the run of results, we're still in touch. We've been fortunate that other results have been going in our favour."

QPR continue their fight for survival later today when they face West Bromwich Albion at The Hawthorns.
