"I thought we played very well today, and on the back of Stoke we got some nice confidence at the right time," he said after the 4-0 win against The Hornets.

"Thats three straight wins and four clean sheets so we're starting to put the sort of stance together that you need to achieve what we want to achieve, which is promotion."

The Hammers boss also singled out midfielder Don Hutchison for special praise after the Scotland internationals first start for almost six months.

"Hutch was important to us today. I though he was probably our best player.

"He has been out of the team a long while but we've worked him hard and he is probably the fittest he's been since I've been here.
