And alongside his declaration comes the news that prolific Championship scorer Danny Ings will return.
Speaking to the Lancashire Evening Telegraph he said: “No matter who you’re playing against, we’ve got West Ham and it’s no different from any other game, we look at the best way we can get three points.”
“Danny’s a quality player so it’s a massive boost for us to have him back with the squad,” he said, “I’m looking forward to hopefully getting out on the pitch with him again.”
