Stanislas urges West Ham to stay strong

Junior Stanislas says West Ham United must stay strong as they struggle to climb out of the dropzone.

West Ham head to Blackburn next weekend, before another away trip, albeit just across London at fellow strugglers Fulham, then home games against Everton and Wolves, on New Year's Day.

Stanislas, fit again following a groin problem, said: "The next four or five games are definitely ones we can get points form, so hopefully we will start picking them up.

"Even difficult fixtures we look forward to and think we can get something, even if it is a draw, or play well and get confidence.

"However, these next runs of matches, we can definitely get points from."

The 21-year-old winger insisted: "The belief is still there, we just need a little something, a little spark to get us going again.

"The belief has to be there, when you start losing your belief, you start losing your way, the little ricochets and decisions which go against you are part of football, you can only do what you do and try to affect the game that way."
