Winston Reid says West Ham can kick-start their season in the Carling Cup against Oxford tonight.
The New Zealand international has started life in the Barclays Premier League on the wrong foot with losses to Aston Villa and Bolton.
Reid, 22, said: �We haven�t had the best start to the season - two games and no points. It�s most important that we beat Oxford.
�We have to go out to win all these Cup games - it�s a chance to win a trophy."
Mexican winger Pablo Barrera says West Ham have enough quality to get over their tough start - even with games against Manchester United and Chelsea coming up.
�We have good players so I believe in the team. In the first half against Bolton we showed we can be better than the result suggests,� he said.
�The scoreline didn�t reflect what happened on the pitch and I�m sure in the coming weeks we will be better.�
Oxford midfielder Mitchell Cole, meanwhile, wants to heap more misery on the Hammers.
Cole played at the club�s academy but he was later released after suffering a series of injury problems...
Cole said: "Leaving West Ham was the worst thing that ever happened to me and it took me a while to get over it.
"Everybody has the ambition to play at the highest level and I think I have the ability to do that. Going back there is my chance to show what I can do.
"They have not had the best of starts to the season and we thrashed Bristol Rovers in the last round so we have nothing to lose.�
Surely Reid would have been a better option than that useless Spector at RB. The only thing I can think of is that Spector has more experience in playing the top teams, but going by todays effort he won't be in the team much longer.
Just read on the West Ham boards that Grant has said he left Winston out because of injury. Havent read it officially but if its true i dont expect its too serious.
