David Gold has told the Hammers squad to get over the Leicester City defeat and look positively towards maintaining their lofty Premier League perch and aiming for a massive FA Cup run
He explained that he got over the Capital One Cup defeat in a couple of days and was now looking forward to another home win over Norwich City on Saturday.
And in an exclusive interview with ClaretandHugh he added: “By the time the FA Cup competition comes around we will be a much stronger and together team.
“Things are still gelling and I believe that by the time the 3rd round draw is made we will be a very good team that is well bedded in.”
And he added: “It would be quite nice if we could get a home draw wouldn’t it – I think that is overdue.”
In the meantime he wants a big performance on Saturday as the team look to hold their place in the top three declaring: “We are very exciting at our best and I’m really looking forward to the game.”
He explained: “I tend to dwell on defeats but I shook this one off fairly quickly by my standards and we move on looking to stay in that top three.
“Despite some tired legs and minds after the Manchester game there were times when we played some really good stuff.
“And perhaps on another day we would have had the penalty we all believe we should have had when Mark Noble instead received a yellow card.
“Fair play to Leicester and their manager Claudio Ranieri. They play fast and attractive football. They edged it but we look forward with great hope.”
