Grant sets target of seven points

WEST HAM manager Avram Grant believes his team cannot afford to lose any of their remaining three matches if they are to remain in the Premier League.

Grant’s side slipped to a fifth straight defeat with a 2-1 loss at Eastlands and they remain rooted to the bottom of the Premier League, three points from safety.

Next they face Blackburn at home before meeting fellow strugglers Wigan and finishing the season with a home game against Sunderland.
