Carlton Cole has vowed to continue scoring the goals which could rescue West Ham from relegation ahead of Tuesday's clash with Everton.
Cole's first league double helped haul the Hammers off the foot of the table in Sunday's crucial 3-1 win at Fulham.
England striker Cole has been in and out of the side this season after struggling to hit top form following an injury-blighted 2009-10 campaign.
But the 27-year-old insists there are no more excuses as West Ham look to become only the second team to avoid the drop after being bottom of the Premier League at Christmas.
"My body is top-notch again; I feel strong and I feel powerful," said Cole. "I did have to recover from my injury and it took ages mentally and physically.
"I think, right now, I'm on key and I've got no excuses.
"I've got to play well as the club really needs me to pull my weight and that's what I need to do."
Sunday's victory was the Hammers' first away from home in the league since the opening day of last season and Cole added: "The fans are happy that we got an away win because it's massive for our confidence and we now want to take that forward."
Despite the club's miserable run, Cole claims he knew they would win on Sunday, saying on WHUTV: "You saw the spirit when we went a goal down.
"We didn't get disappointed. We didn't let it affect us and that's what we really needed - everyone to pull in the same direction and that's what we did.
"I always knew this would be a period which might define our season. I knew we were going to get something at Fulham - I just had that feeling. These things do happen. Everything went our way.
"The boys worked really hard. We left everything on that pitch and fair play to all my team-mates because everyone did the right thing to get the result and that's what we needed."
West Ham now face two home games, with today's Everton match followed by a relegation six-pointer against Wolves.
Captain Matthew Upson said: "We have got another two massive games at home.
"We need to go out there with the same attitude and try to get another three points from one of those games.
"That would be a really good achievement."
