Jack Wilshere is confident Bournemouth can stay up.

Wilshere, who has started 19 Premier League games for Cherries, has been struck by the collective spirit at the club.

And he believes that trait will be decisive in the team's bid to climb clear of trouble.

"Nobody has ever questioned our character," Wilshere told the Daily Echo.

"We're a hungry bunch who want to do well. The games we haven't done well in, we have always been up for it and had that fight in us.

"In other games, though, we've missed a chance and our heads have gone down.

"But we missed two penalties against West Ham and Kingy bounced back and scored a hat-trick."
