Grant praises Hammers' fighting spirit
West Ham manager Avram Grant has praised the fighting spirit shown by his players which has seen the Hammers record back-to-back wins and move out of the bottom three.
An impressive display against Stoke on Saturday followed a 3-1 win over Liverpool the previous weekend, and West Ham now appear to be building momentum ahead of the run-in.
Speaking to the club's official website, Grant said he believes the players were strengthened while going through a barren run of form which included one win in six Premier League games.
"When we were bottom of the league, we were fighting and fighting. We always wanted to find a solution and the spirit was very good," Grant said.
"Of course no one was happy when we lost. But from every bad situation we became stronger and stronger. That is the reason why we now have good momentum. You cannot push a button and be good. You need to do the right things even when things are going wrong."
