Avram Grant thinks West Ham have "momentum at the right time" after watching them haul themselves out of the drop zone by crushing Stoke 3-0.
The Hammers recorded back-to-back league wins for the first time in more than a year - and three straight victories in all competitions for the first time in more than two - to stay on course to complete a great escape from relegation.
Two of the three teams below them have games in hand but, having rattled in 14 goals in their last four outings, Grant's men currently look better equipped to survive than nearly all of their rivals.
"We have momentum at the right time," said Grant, who admitted his side's current scoring run would not continue indefinitely.
"We will not score three goals every game, that's for sure. Nobody is doing this.
"I believe in this football, I believe in attacking football.
"You need balance, and we're getting the balance better and better every game.
"But we have many players forward that can score now."
Grant demonstrated the faith he has in his forwards by fielding a three-pronged attack today, with Demba Ba once again stealing the limelight with his fourth goal in five matches since signing from Hoffenheim.
Ba was set to join Stoke in January but the Senegal international failed a medical, prompting the Potters to pull out of the deal.
Grant said: "I'm very happy that they did.
"Nobody knew about Demba before I wanted to sign him.
"Even Stoke and Everton and other teams that wanted him, I don't think they knew who he was.
"At the end of the day, he came to the team that wanted him from the beginning."
Summer signing Thomas Hitzlsperger also rattled in his second goal in three games following his recovery from the injury that prevented him from playing for his new club until last month.
Grant, who brought in four players in the January transfer window, said: "Thomas is like a fifth signing in January.
"He's had a big impact because, with him, our midfield has more balance.
"He knows how to defend, he can pass the ball, he can score like today.
"He's important for us but I must say all the new signings are doing well, and also the players that played before."
Grant insists he never once stop believing his side could survive, even when they appeared marooned at the foot of the table, adding: "We were confident that we would do it."
Stoke boss Tony Pulis was left to reflect on the irony of Ba's success at Upton Park but refused to criticise his own club's doctors.
"You never criticise people for doing what they have to do in good faith," he said.
"The medical side said what they had to say and you get on with it."
Stoke had contained Ba well until he opened the scoring in the 21st minute thanks to a calamitous mix-up between goalkeeper Asmir Begovic and Marc Wilson.
The visitors failed to regain their composure before the recalled Manuel da Costa made it 2-0 eight minutes later.
Pulis said: "Up until the two goals, especially the first one, I thought we were well in the game.
"If anything, we probably had more control of the game.
"Then we gave a silly goal away and they scored again from a set play, which is disappointing from our point of view.
"From then on, they deserved to win it."
Stoke's defeat was a club record sixth on the bounce away from home in the league and left them just three points above their opponents.
Pulis admitted his side were now in the thick of the relegation dogfight, adding: "My argument is we have to get to 40 points as quickly as we can and then look at the table from there.
"If you're always looking over your shoulder or looking at what other teams are doing, you take your eye off the ball with respect to what you've got to achieve."
