David Moyes insists that West Ham fans can keep dreaming big as the season continues.

The Hammers face a real fight to finish in the top four, as the club currently sit sixth ahead of this weekend’s clash with seventh-placed Wolves.

But they remain in the FA Cup and the Europa League, with the Irons set to play Sevilla in the Round of 16 of the competition after Friday’s draw.

Moyes insists that he wants the club to keep fighting at the top end of the league table and has urged the fans to keep dreaming of achieving our dreams.

He told reporters: “I want us to be in and around the top and I’m not giving up on being in and around the top. If we have been in the top four positions in two periods of the season.

We had one early on in the season, we dropped out. We went back into it. My plan now is to make sure the third time we go in there, we stay there.

The plan is to try and get back into it. But we have got to find the best squad and our best form to get that. I don’t think We’ve quite been in our best form but we have been resilient. We’ve dug in.”

Moyes admits that things have not quite gone West Ham’s way, particularly with injuries, and a general lack of goals from the club’s kep players.

He added: “A couple of things have not quite gone our way. We’d like to see more goals from Antonio and Soucek who have been important to us.

But it’s not our goalscoring that has been the problem. It’s been conceding goals. We were without Angelo Ogbonna for a long period of time and Kurt Zouma. So, trying to get the balance right every game to be ready and to be the best we can is not always easy.

But I do think that resilience, sticking at it, challenging the top teams – with big games and two cup competitions to come – makes it a good time for West Ham.

“Will the supporters trust us? Well they can trust me that the players we are trying to get and what we are trying to do is big. I’m not thinking small, I’m thinking about hanging with the top boys.

“And I’ve got to say that the competition in the Premier League this season has been strong. The likes of Arsenal doing so well, Tottenham doing so well, you can see Wolves doing well.

And that’s without mentioning the other big teams. So there’s always a difficulty making it into that group but thankfully last year we got sixth. Now we want to do better than that if we can.”
