West Ham United boss Slaven Bilic: 'We have to keep our feet on the ground'

By Simon Sinclair, Reporter | 30 October 2015

West Ham United boss Slaven Bilic believes that his side are capable of maintaining their run of good form, but has warned his team not to rest on their laurels.

West Ham United boss Slaven Bilic has admitted that he has told his team not to get carried away with their impressive start to the Premier League season.

The Hammers are currently third in the table following their 2-1 victory over Chelsea last time out, which was their sixth win of the campaign.

However, Bilic has insisted that his side cannot afford to rest on their laurels, but is confident that they will be able to maintain their form due to the quality at his disposal.

He told the club's official website: "Well, it's been a good start and we are enjoying it but we are keeping our feet on the ground totally. It's only a start, but we are confident and if we continue to work hard, like we have been from day one, I don't see a reason why we should drop dramatically.

"There will be ups and downs with results, that's football, but we are confident and we are gaining everything that is important: atmosphere, individual confidence, team bonding. Winning games is the best way of doing that.

"The reason we are doing well is the quality of the players, the team spirit, our pattern of working hard, we are respecting the opponents but not fearing them. It is down to hard work with individual responsibility. It is very enjoyable so far."

West Ham face Watford at Vicarage Road on Saturday.
