Aaron Cresswell hopes Sunday's shut out against Queens Park Rangers was a sign of things to come from West Ham United.
Although they have been in top form going forward this season, the Hammers' defensive solidity has not matched that at times over the first two months of the campaign.
But victory over the R's married a goalscoring threat with a meanness at the back and the summer signing from Ipswich Town wants that to be the case on a regular basis.
He is delighted with how he has settled in since making the move from Portman Road and would love to keep the Hammers in the Barclays Premier League's top ten.
He explained: "It's always nice to get a win, and a clean sheet as well. That was our first one of the season, so it was important to go into the international break with the three points to push us further up the table.
"On Sunday we went 1-0 up and then controlled the game in the first half. Of course it helped to score the early goal. It was the same when we played Liverpool - we got the two early goals that day and it was the same kind of situation against QPR.
"I thought the whole eleven were excellent on Sunday. We controlled the game very well in the first half and, although they had a spell in the first ten minutes after half time when they changed formation, overall we deserved to win the game."
