West Ham assistant manager Zeljko Petrovic insists the club needs to make steady progress under new boss Avram Grant this season. Petrovic joined the club just before the new season and the 44-year-old is in no doubt that there is quality in the ranks at Upton Park. However, he believes the team must ensure their survival this season before building on that platform. "We have a good team, we have a good squad and they are good professionals," Petrovic said. "They have a fantastic attitude but it is important for us all to believe. This club needs to survive one year and then from next year make a step forward. This is what I hear from Avram and he is right. "I am very happy and proud to be here at West Ham. It is a big name in Europe with a fantastic academy. It is very famous club. It is very easy to be a coach or manager here because everyone here helps you for success and for the club. "You can be the best coach in the world but when the kit men, or the kitchen staff are not together to form one team you don't have success. Everybody here and at the stadium is together at West Ham. We have to all help the manager to achieve his targets."
