West Ham captain eager for return to winning ways this weekend
West Ham captain Kevin Nolan is confident the Hammers will get back to winning ways against London rivals Crystal Palace on Saturday.
The Upton Park club slipped to a poor 1-0 defeat at home to Ipswich in midweek, their second reverse on home turf this season.
However, Sam Allardyce's side are unbeaten on their travels and Nolan is determined to keep that run going at Selhurst Park.
The skipper told the club's
official website: "The good thing about this league is you play so many games. The turnaround is so quick that you have another game where you can put it right; that's what we've got to do now.
"We can't sit there and feel sorry for ourselves; if we do we're not going to achieve what we want, which at the end of the day is automatic promotion."
Got it wrong
West Ham have developed a nasty habit of conceding late goals this season, which happened again against Ipswich, and it's something Nolan admits they need to quickly eradicate.
"I wish I could put my finger on it because then we wouldn't do it," he said. "It's something we've got to address.
"On Tuesday, the worst thing about it was that it came from a set piece. There are a lot of experienced players and internationals in our team and we've got it wrong. That's something that can't be accepted, and won't be.
"In the dressing room we can dig people out and wave fingers, and people have got to take it one the chin.
"If we react in a positive manner on Saturday and go away and get something, whether it is a point or all three, we can't afford to give sloppy goals away."
