Zola: Remains upbeat

Gianfranco Zola is confident West Ham will become upwardly mobile in the not too distant future.
The Hammers have endured a difficult start to the 2009/10 campaign, with only one victory taken from their eight games so far.
That torrid run of results has left them languishing in the Premier League relegation zone, and they could host capital rivals Arsenal on Sunday sitting bottom of the table should Portsmouth take three points from their trip to Hull City 24 hours earlier.
Zola accepts that his side need to start grinding out results if they are to steer themselves to safety, but he is adamant that his players are capable of turning the situation around.
He said: "I know it hasn't been a good start and I question myself all the time. I look at the group the way they train and if they keep doing so with the same attitude they will not have a problem.
"They will come out of this situation brilliantly. That's my thought and I hope I'm right.
Tight

"This game is about psychology. It is important we get some points. We are not far away from where we want but we need results.
"We need the comfort back of getting points. The table is very tight. If you end up winning two games you might find yourself in the middle of the table. Don't be surprised if things change quickly."
Zola admits West Ham's plight has given him cause for concern over recent weeks, but the Italian insists he has always risen to the challenge when faced with adversity during his distinguished career.
"I don't like to let myself down," he said.
"I have had downfalls in my career but I always knew I was going to bounce back. That is what is going to happen now.
"It is difficult because I care about these players and about this club. To see them in this situation hurts me."
