​West Ham boss Bilic hopeful Huddersfield win provides launching pad

West Ham United boss Slaven Bilic is hopeful that the 2-0 win over Huddersfield on Monday will serve as a launchpad for his side this season.

The Hammers picked up their first points of the season when they defeated the Terriers at London Stadium. They are now placed 18th in the table, and their next assignment is the trip to West Brom.

"It [was] important for us to win the [Huddersfield] game," Bilic said ahead of Saturday's trip the Hawthorns. "We have to continue like that.

"As I told the players this morning, because yesterday we were off, and we had a small meeting, we have to build on this.

"Ok, we beat Huddersfield.

"Not on Monday night - we beat Huddersfield on Saturday and Sunday when we trained in our stadium and [in] our stadium there was properly fiery training sessions and [now] we have to produce it, more or less, every day.

"We have to do it tomorrow and then, and only then, we will be in a situation to get something out of Saturday, or any other game."
