James Collins: 'We are still battling relegation'

By , Reporter
James Collins believes that it would be an "unbelievable" result if West Ham United were to finish in mid-table this season.

James Collins has urged his West Ham United teammates not to believe that they are safe from relegation yet.

Three victories in a row have seen the Hammers climb to 11th in the Premier League but Collins admits that it would still be an "unbelievable" result to come close to matching their 10th-placed finish in the league last season.

"We have got to try and get as many points as we can. We are still not safe, that is the main objective," the Welsh defender told reporters.

"If we could finish around that area where we finished last year, from the start that would be an unbelievable season."

West Ham return to action when they host Southampton on Saturday.
