Nolan believes Reading can be Hammered down

West Ham United captain, Kevin Nolan, believes that his side can overtake Reading and claim an automatic promotion spot.

All this despite Reading's 4-2 win in East London on Saturday, and the 4 point gap between the two sides with just 6 games remaining.

The Royals, along with table topping Southampton, are now many people's favourites to claim automatic promotion.

Speaking to the club's official website, Nolan said: 'We've got to make sure we go on a run between now and the end of the season and hopefully put a bit of pressure on Southampton and Reading.

'Of course automatic promotion is still the target. There is a mini-league between three of us now so let's see if we can break them before the end of the season.

'If not, it's plan B. Easter weekend is going to be massive. All hope is not lost. We're not all down in the dumps.

'We're looking forward to putting the wrongs right next Friday.'

Sam Allardyce's Hammers travel to South Yorkshire to play Barnsley on Saturday.

Actually, Sam's men will be travelling on Thursday to Barnsley as they are playing them on Friday, not Saturday and it's on BBC1 at 5 o'clock so perhaps George Powell needs to do more research!!!!
