Skipper not giving up on top two finish
West Ham captain Kevin Nolan is targeting six wins from their remaining six games to try and ensure automatic promotion from the Championship.
The Hammers' promotion charge has stumbled in recent weeks, with Sam Allardyce's men winning just one of their last seven matches to drop out of the Championship's top two.
Last weekend's 4-2 home defeat to in-form Reading means there is now a four-point gap between the Hammers in third and the Royals in second.
With just six games left to go in the regular season Nolan concedes his side are running out of time if they are to seal a top two spot.
However, the former Newcastle midfielder is eyeing a 100 per cent record between now and the end of the season in order to give themselves a fighting chance.
Blame
"We have six games left and we've got to win each one of them as they come along and I'm confident we can do that," said the 29-year-old.
"I've not looked at their runs, only ourselves. We only have ourselves to blame for where we are - no-one else. We have all got to stand-up and be counted now, everyone.
"If we stick together I'm sure we can all get what we want and that's to be in the Premier League at the end of the season.
"We've got to make sure we go on a run between now and the end of the season and hopefully put a bit of pressure on Southampton and Reading."
