West Ham defender James Collins has said that the side are looking onwards and upwards after Monday's last-gasp defeat to Tottenham Hospur at the Boleyn Ground.
The centre half, who made his comeback from injury on Monday night, told whufc.com that "the way we started the season shows what we are capable of- we have some more tough matches coming up, but we have a great squad, a great team spirit and we want to win every game."
Despite the sickening last mintue defeat to Spurs, the Welsh cruncher is adamant that the defeat was not in vain and that lessons were learnt.
"It is gutting when you are only minutes away from getting something, but overall we were very happy with how we played; we were strong on Monday night; and that's something we can take into the Stoke game on Saturday."
The Hammers' task at the Britannia Stadium will be made even harder with both captain Kevin Nolan and his central midfield colleague Mark Noble both set to miss out through injury, but Collins says that there is no reason to be despondent.
"We have to go to Stoke and give it a go; we are training hard and I strongly believe that if we keep playing the way we are, the results will come."
Let's hope you're right, Ginge. Here's to three points on Saturday!
