Noble confident West Ham will soon move up table

West Ham United midfielder Mark Noble says a slow start to the season is no concern.

Noble admits it has been a tough start to the campaign after back to back defeats to Aston Villa and Bolton.

He said: "To be honest, it doesn't worry me. I think we've got a good enough squad, good enough players to be doing well.

"We played the best we've played for a long time against Bolton on Saturday in the first half, but scrappy goals killed us off.

"That's what we've got to guard against and it will be a little bit different against Man United on Saturday. But we've still got to look at it in the same way.

"If you keep plugging away then you will get a goal eventually, we needed a bit of confidence. Sometimes when a team puts 11 behind the ball it's hard to break them down no matter who they are. The most important thing was to get the win (against Oxford).

"We had a few boos. But I've been here a few years now and you know with West Ham fans if you're not 3-0 up at half time!"
