Momentum with the Hammers - Grant

05 March 2011 20:30
Avram Grant declared West Ham had "momentum at the right time" after watching them haul themselves out of the Barclays Premier League drop zone by crushing Stoke 3-0. The Hammers recorded back-to-back league wins for the first time in more than a year - and three straight victories in all competitions for the first time in more than two - to stay on course to complete a great escape from relegation. Two of the three teams below them have games in hand but, having rattled in 14 goals in their last four outings, Grant's men currently look better equipped to survive than nearly all of their rivals. "We have momentum at the right time," said Grant, who admitted his side's current scoring run would not continue indefinitely. "We will not score three goals every game, that's for sure. Nobody is doing this. I believe in this football, I believe in attacking football. "You need balance, and we're getting the balance better and better every game. But we have many players forward that can score now."
