Cardiff City defender Sol Bamba is confident manager Neil Warnock can keep the club up this season.

Neil Warnock's side are outside the bottom three only on goal difference after losing three and drawing two of their first five games back in the Premier League.

But Bamba believes Warnock is key to getting Cardiff out of trouble: "I think one of the gaffer's best qualities is his man management.

"He can read my mind, he knows how we feel and how we're going to perform and I think that's a big strength.

"On the football side he knows how to adapt, he plays the way we play because he knows what we're good at.

"If we had the players to play the way Manchester City play I'm sure the gaffer would want to play that way.

"But with all due respect to my team-mates and myself we don't have those qualities so we play to our strengths.

"Our strengths are to be physical and make it difficult for the opposition and difficult to beat and when we get a chance we need to score."
