James Tomkins: West Ham United are feeling "so confident"

James Tomkins says that West Ham United are feeling "confident" and urges his teammates to continue their winning momentum by claiming victory over Norwich City.

James Tomkins has urged his West Ham United teammates to use their newfound confidence to help build some winning momentum.

The Hammers have lost only one Premier League match since Tomkins returned from injury in the January 11 win over Cardiff City.

This run of improved form has helped Sam Allardyce's side climb out of the bottom three, but with only two points separating them from the relegation zone, Tomkins has stressed the importance of West Ham continuing to pick up positive results, starting against Norwich City on Tuesday.

"It is certainly not the time to sit back," he told the Newham Recorder. "We need to carry on from the win against Aston Villa because we all know if you lose a couple of games, you are dragged right into the trouble again.

"We are hoping to keep this run going and Norwich is a winnable game, no disrespect to them, but it is a game we can win. The lads are so confident at the minute.

"We won our last home game and don't forget about the Chelsea game, which was massive as well, and then beating Villa, so we are confident going into Tuesday, but we will need our whole squad because there are likely to be some tired legs after the Villa match."

Tomkins has made 22 appearances for the Irons in all competitions this season.
