Blackburn defender Christopher Samba believes the current Rovers squad has too much quality to go down.

Sam Allardyce's side have won only five Premier League games this term and remain in the bottom three as the season moves into its final third.

However, Samba is in no doubt that Rovers will beat the drop, saying: "Sometimes things are not going your way but we try to get into the right mentality and get back on the scoresheet.

"I think we have to show a bit more mental quality and some character so that when things are not going your way, you get yourself out of it.

"We showed against Bolton we could do it, but on Saturday that was missing. We want to stay in the Premier League because basically we are too good to go down.

"We have a lot of quality but it is not only about quality sometimes it is about heart and how much you want it so we will be really concentrating on staying in the Premier League. We will stay in the Premiership."
