Oumar Niasse is confident Cardiff can avoid relegation to the Championship, despite being five points from safety

Oumar Niasse says Cardiff can avoid relegation from the Premier League, so long as they play with the same mentality as in the defeat to Chelsea.

The Bluebirds are five points from safety with just six games remaining after back-to-back defeats against Chelsea and Manchester City.

But Cardiff were unfortunate to surrender their 1-0 advantage over Chelsea with five minutes to go, falling foul of a missed offside decision, causing manager Neil Warnock to vent his frustration with the officials.

But Niasse, whose outlook was very positive at a Football For Peace Dinner on Monday night, said: "Of course we can get out.

"We have six games to go and we have two important games against opponents who are not far from us.

Refereeing decisions are part of the game, we have to deal with that and move to the next game.

"We did well, but unfortunately we didn't get a point. We should get the three points, but we didn't, so that's all we can do.

"We're going to try all the way to do it until the end. With the mentality we had against Chelsea, if we play like that, then we're going to do it."

Very optimistic. He must be planning to sit out the rest of the season then? Because whilst he's starting there's only one direction we're heading.

It'll help if you start sticking a few of your chances in the onion bag Oumar!

FFS at least he's trying not like that last waste of space Ken, why don't people see the amount of work he gets through in a game? But no as per it's easier to have a go at our own players!! Like the way he says 'we' shows there's solidarity in the dressing room.

Isn't Ken one of our own players then?

He’s our best forward needs somebody up top with him.

Roll all you want but you know exactly what I meant

He has made a huge, positive, difference to our performances. It is encouraging to see players being enthusiastic on and off the pitch.

the effort he puts in is very visual and haven't seen anyone knock him for that.
