Zola on 'massive game'
West Ham manager Gianfranco Zola heads into Tuesday night's game against Wolves at the Boleyn Ground knowing that only a win will be good enough to appease a growing number that are unhappy with the Hammers' current form. After suffering their fourth straight defeat, leaving them only one place above the relegation zone, the Hammers must up their game if they are to pull away from the current bottom four of Portsmouth, Burnley and Hull. Speaking to the official site the manager admitted he was well aware of the importance of Tuesday night and then next weekend’s fixture against Stoke City. “We have two very important home games against Wolverhampton Wanderers and Stoke City and I am confident we can get two good results. We know they will both be difficult matches but they are teams on our level and we must take heart from our performance against Arsenal. "They know it will be a big crowd on Tuesday and will be up for the battle. It will be a challenge from the first whistle and we will be doing our best. The fan backing will be massively important for us. "Make no mistake; I am not pleased at all to see us in this position. In these moments though, we have to keep our composure. We need to do the right things at the right time and not get too emotional. Otherwise you cannot improve the situation. "After the weekend, the table hasn't changed too much which is a good thing. However, I am only thinking about my team and what we have to do. Everything is up to us and I will take a lot of positives into Tuesday night.”
