Blackburn Rovers defender Stephen Warnock has warned that the club is not too good to get relegated this season.

The weekend loss to Aston Villa left Sam Allardyce's side in the relegation zone and, with only a third of the campaign left, Warnock is aware that the club's eight-year spell in the Premier League could be coming to an end.

He told the Lancashire Evening Telegraph: "We should be where we are because that's where we are. You're never too good to go down.

"You only have to look at the West Ham team that went down years ago with the likes of (Joe) Cole, (Michael) Carrick and (Jermain) Defoe. You can carry on through the list of players that went down.

"They were England internationals. Anyone who thinks you can be good enough not to go down is wrong.

"No one agrees with that at the club and we understand we're in a bad position. We know we should have won games but we haven't won games and that's why we're in this position."
