Semi Ajayi is upbeat West Bromwich Albion will beat the drop this season despite their struggles in the Premier League.
The Baggies occupy 19th position on the table and are 10 points from safety with nine games remaining before the end of the campaign..
The Nigeria international however insists Sam Allardyce’s men can still things around.
“It’s not easy – we are desperate right now and we need points as soon as possible,” the 27-year-old said.
“I’d say everyone’s written us off but we definitely haven’t really written ourselves off.
“We are still fighting, we still haven’t given up.
“We still have belief, we still have hope and it’s just about taking one game at a time, giving our maximum and seeing where that takes us.
“Hopefully, that will keep us in the Premier League but we definitely haven’t given up.”
