Grant at ease over slow start
Avram Grant insists there is no need for West Ham to panic about their start to the season unless they fail to improve after "10-15 games".
The Hammers prop up the Barclays Premier League going into the international break following defeats in their opening three matches.
West Ham have never lost their first four league games but leaders Chelsea, who have made a perfect start to the new campaign, are their next opponents in just under a fortnight.
However, Upton Park boss Grant is adamant even defeat to the champions would not spell disaster for his side.
"It's only the beginning of the season, so we cannot make any conclusions after three weeks," he told his club's official website, www.whufc.com. "We must wait for 10-15 games to see our direction."
He added: "Chelsea is a tough fixture and I can't ever remember a team at our level having such tough fixtures at the beginning of the season. But these are fixtures we have been given and, in football, anything can happen. We have two weeks to think about things. We can become stronger."
