Scott Parker admits West Ham United's players are short of confidence after their poor start to the season.

He admitted: "We're on a bad run at the moment and we're fragile as players and as a team.

"We've got five senior players out injured and we've got a small squad as it is. It's still early on in the season and if this run was happening in January then you would worry, but it isn't.

"Just as winning becomes a habit, losing also becomes a habit. We've got a game at the weekend against Fulham that we have to win."
