West Ham defender Winston Reid: Confidence here now surging

West Ham defender Winston Reid says confidence is surging after turning around results.

The Hammers have won six of their last ten Premier League matches to rise into the top half of the table, while generally looking more resilient and solid in defence than they did in the early months of the season.

“We started the season bang average but, to be fair, we've been playing all right for a while now," the centre-half, who has started 22 of West Ham's 25 Premier League fixtures, told whufc.com.

“Obviously we did get hit with a couple of bad results against Man City [in the Emirates FA Cup and Premier League], which were a bit tough to take, but generally we've improved.

“It's been a combination of things. We've had a few people coming back from injuries, people getting up to match-fitness and people in form. When you win games, you get more confidence, and we've been winning games, so everyone is happier around the place and that shows out on the pitch."
