試合後の主将談
Scott Parker has told his team mates it's 'onwards and upwards' following West Ham United's 2-0 win at Hartlepool United this afternoon.
Parker, captain for the day in the absence of Lucas Neill who was rested today, was pivotal in United's success today, and was duly named Man of the Match. Speaking after the game, he told ITV:
"I don't think it was as comfortable as it seemed, at times we were put under massive pressure out there.
"I think that once we scored the first goal, and obviously the second so quickly after it took the sting out of them - and we went on and won the game quite comfortably in the end."
The win extends West Ham's unbeaten run to six matches, with five of those games being victories. The Hammers have a great chance to extend that sequence to seven game when they entertain the out-of-form Hull City next Wednesday - which, according to Parker, is well within the team's grasp.
"At the end of the day winning is a good habit and we're on a good run at the moment," he added.
"We're putting in some good performances and today was another one of them, so we'll look onwards and upwards from here."
