Parker says relaxed Grant manner good for West Ham players

West Ham United midfielder Scott Parker is happy playing for manager Avram Grant.

Parker was once again key to West Ham's Carling Cup victory over Birmingham and the midfielder thinks Grant's relaxed attitude is benefiting his players, who have now lost just one of their last seven games.

"We're feeling positive," said Parker.

"We've been on a run of good form and we'll go into the Arsenal game confident.

"Avram does seem very chilled out and I think that filters down to the players. The lads are fighting as much as the gaffer is fighting.

"We're all in the same corner. We're all trying to do our best for ourselves, for the manager, for the club.

"He's got tons and tons of experience so, yeah, he's doing a good job. 'Everybody will just have to dig in. This year's going to be difficult."
