The Whites will aim to make it back-to-back wins on Saturday and Bobby De Cordova-Reid admits the squad are looking to "prove doubters wrong."
Scott Parker's side head to West Ham on the back of a morale-boosting first league win, which came against West Bromwich Albion on Monday.
"It was nice, everyone was buzzing and I think it was long overdue for us. It was nice to get three points on the board which will bring confidence going into the next game."
De Cordova-Reid was pleased to feature in the starting lineup, having been on the bench in the two games prior.
"Everyone wants to play but you've got to understand that it's a big squad and everyone is going to be used. You have to be patient but when you get your chance you've got to be there to take it and influence the team."
Our attacker netted his second league goal to fire us in front, after linking up with the Aleksandar Mitrović.
"We flooded the box and Mitro's always dangerous in the air so I knew I had to be activated around it. It dropped to me and I put it away. I always know he's going to be a threat around the box so if I can be in and around it, I can get on the end of stuff."
Harrison Reed admitted last week that 'it was the best week of training he had experienced' since joining and De Cordova-Reid is aware that this is a good sign.
"It shows that everyone's on it and it shows everyone's fighting to prove doubters wrong and we all want to get points on the board, so it starts off with training and we take that into the game. It's been another good week."
The next test comes in the form of a West Ham United side looking to improve on last year's league finish.
"They're a good team. We know their dangers and we've got to be solid as a unit away from home and try and nick something. We've got confidence going into the game so who knows. We're going to give it a good go and try and get the three points."
With a gap in fixtures fast approaching, De-Cordova Reid is hoping to end this current batch of games on a high.
"We've got the international break coming up so if we can get more points on the board going into that it would be perfect. We're confident and hopefully we can get back-to-back wins."
