Brynjar Gunnarsson is confident Reading will beat the drop this season.

"We have to stick together and work double as hard as we have been doing," Gunnarsson told BBC Radio Berkshire.

"We'll definitely be able to turn this round and win another five or six games which will probably be necessary."

He added: "There are still a lot of games to be played and a lot of points to be played for. I think we have the ability and first and foremost the belief to get through this situation."
