QPR players intent on keeping club in Premier League says Ferdinand

QPR find themselves in a very precarious position which all the players are certainly aware of says defender Anton Ferdinand.

The R's sit 17th on goal difference from Blackburn Rovers, who are on the same amount of points, and Ferdinand knows there is plenty of hard work to do if the West Londoners want to stay up.

And Ferdinand pointed out that it is a mission of all the players in the squad as well as the entire coaching staff to keep QPR in the Premier League after the club did so well to get into the top division in the first place.

"It's crucial that we retain our Premier League status so that the hard work of the last four years doesn't go to waste - it has been all season, not just these last 12 games," he told the club's official website.

"To get out of that situation will take hard work, but I have every confidence in my team-mates, the manager and coaching staff that we will.

"We're enjoying working hard and looking forward to our next game against Everton. They present another tough test - but every game is a tough one in the Premier League.

"They're a very experienced team with a number of top players, but we've got players in our side that can unlock doors. Hopefully we'll see that on Saturday.

"If I wasn't confident there'd be no point in me going on the pitch.

"I am confident we can do well - and that goes for every single one of my team-mates."
