UNDER-pressure boss Avram Grant insisted West Ham will get back on track after the Hammers’ winless away streak got longer with defeat at Sunderland.

“The difference between one-zero and zero-zero is not so great,” said Grant after the 1-0 defeat yesterday (Sunday).

“We need to do something because we cannot keep not winning away from home.

”Sunderland's home record is amazing and it was not easy for us."

The last away win for the Hammers was in August 2009.

Grant praised travelling fans by comparing them to the home fans who will now have to be in good voice when West Ham host Manchester City next Saturday.

"We have been very good in the last two games at home. This is great and we need to now bring that to our away form. The home fans were great this week.

“We have everything behind us to do it and we will do it.”
