West Ham defender Vladimir Coufal is convinced the good times are returning after recent results.
The Hammers' faithful were left frustrated by a slow start to the 2022/23 season, which saw their team reach the halfway stage with just 15 points and sitting inside the relegation zone.
Since then, the Irons have picked up five points from three games, beating Everton 2-0 at London Stadium before securing creditable come-from-behind 1-1 draws at Newcastle United and home to Chelsea.
Coufal told the club's website: We started like against Newcastle; a horrible start for us. I think we have to start like we already believing we'll be losing one-nil! It will be better for us maybe, because we start to play properly after, so maybe at the beginning of the next game, we gave them a goal before the game and it will be a better scenario!
We showed great character because Chelsea absolutely dominated the first 20 minutes and after we turned this game and maybe we could grab more than one point from this game, but still it is Chelsea, so we have to take this point.
I think we have to climb from this relegation zone because one month ago it was horrible to check check the Premier League table for me, so that's why I didn't check the table maybe for months, as it was absolutely horrible to see West Ham in the relegation zone, for me.
Now, we are climbing up and hopefully we will never stop till the end of the season and we will be as high as possible and we will be delivering the good performances and good results for the fans."
