Survival the priority says Jack the lad


Jack Collison agrees with West Ham manager Sam Allardyce that 39 points will be enough for the Hammers in order to secure another season of Premier League football.


Collison is confident that in the remaining nine games they can keep ahead of the bottom three, with the current gap at six points.

Speaking to whufc.com, he said: "between now and the end of the season, we're obviously aiming to get as many points on the board as we can.. the sooner we can do it, the better for us, and then maybe we can look to push on.

"It's hard to say [how many points we need]. It's very tight down there, but as long as we concentrate on ourselves, work hard and get a couple of wins on the board, we'll be fine.

"There are a lot teams down there but, we feel that with the squad and manager we've got, we're good enough to stay up. The sooner we can get the points on the board, the better for us.”

Collison will be busy between now and the next Premier League game against West Brom whilst on international duty with Wales. He will be involved in their World Cup qualifiers against Scotland and Croatia and is focussed on trying to get the country to its first major finals since 1958.

On his Wales duty, he said:"We are looking forward to it and we've got a bit of momentum going into it because we won our last game against Austria.”

Good luck this week Jack, but keep out of those 50/50 tackles. West Ham needs you!
