HAMMERS NEED CONFIDENCE BACK

WEST HAM UNITED players need to be united to find their confidence back and get their season back on track, the club’s newly-appointed assistant coach Stuart Pearce has said.

David Moyes replaced Slaven Bilic as West Ham manager last week with the club in the relegation zone after winning two of their 11 League games and the Scot will take charge of his first match during Sunday’s trip to Watford.

Pearce, who previously played for West Ham for two years from 1999 to 2001, was named as one of Moyes’ assistants last weekend and the 55-year-old has backed the team to turn their fortunes around.

“David (Moyes) is acutely aware ‘as we all are’ of exactly where the club are at this moment in time,” Pearce told the club’s website (www.whufc.com). “The main thing is to enhance the togetherness at the club.

“Confidence has been dented and that is part of the task, to get that back on track. We need to find that togetherness again and the players are the most powerful ones of all in showing that.”
