Barnett insists Norwich good enough to stay up

Norwich City defender Leon Barnett is convinced they're good enough to beat the drop.

Barnett, 25, insists survival would be a success and is achievable over the next ten months.

The defender, who has top-flight experience with West Brom, said: "As far as I know the aim is just to stay up and establish ourselves as a Premier League team.

"If it's fourth-bottom then we will have done our job. We want to stay out of the bottom three.

"I'd take fourth from bottom. I want to stay in the Premier League and play there next year and the year after.

"When Norwich went up from League One they didn't have much ­experience of the ­Championship. It's a proven fact we can do it.

"The gaffer has some good, work-horse players here and people who want to play in the Premier League and that's the most vital thing."
