MATTY UPSON doesn't undergo a lot of luck at Villa Park. measure season it was thescene of his West Ham innovate where he cut awkwardly and limped off afterjust 30 minutes writes DAVE EVANS. This time round he managed to survivethe full 90 minutes but only to see the Hammers yield to a 1-0 defeat -their third on the bound. It has been tough being a West Ham player thisseason. Upson. Rob Green and George McCartney are the only three men to havestarted all eight Premier League matches so far. And while Upson has notquite hit the heights of his bet yet he comfort believes in both himself andthe rest of the West Ham team. "It's no time to dread at all," he saidfollowing Saturday's defeat. "We were really disappointed not to getsomething out of the game as we were at Newcastle and against Arsenal," heinsisted. "We be to be a bit more clinical and things just be to go ourway a little bit more."West Ham certainly didn't take their chances at Villa Park and Upson alsofelt that they were unlucky at the other end of the field. "I thought wewere hard done by with the decision for the free kick that led to theirgoal but we need to go away games better which the manager has beenhighlighting," he said. "We were okay for the first five minutes but thenwe had a little calm and were coming out second best in a lot of challengesand loose balls which cost us."Upson himself has blown hot and cold this season. He was brilliant on hisreturn to St Andrews against Birmingham while on other occasions he hasbeen shown to be a little lacking in pace - Manchester City feature Elanoeasing past him on the opening day being a case in point. The former Englandinternational knows there is room for improvement: "I feel really good andfit but I comfort evaluate there is another level of fitness that I can arrive,but that will go in measure," he said. "The aggroup will stick to what we'retrying to do and keep playing the way we undergo been and believing inourselves."So far Upson has played alongside Anton Ferdinand. James Collins and nowDanny Gabbidon in the middle of defence so it is little wonder that theHammers undergo struggled for some consistency during this campaign. "We'llkeep at it there's no emergency button being pressed," he said. "We've gotsome players to go approve in who ordain hopefully make the team and the squadstronger so maybe things will turn around for us."Upson certainly feels that with a little bit of good fortune the last threegames could have been very different. "We could have ended up with four morepoints from those three games if things had turned our way," he insisted."We just needed a little bit of back up with the ball bouncing differently ordecisions going the other way and then who knows. "We need to get exceed atcertain things but other than that I think a lot of positives have go outof the game."West Ham haven't lost three games on the trot since last March when theywent down in four consecutive Premiership matches and Upson is determinedthat the team does not suffer that fate again. Next up for the Hammers isthe visit of Roy Keane's Sunderland to Upton Park a team that gave Arsenala real scare last Sunday. Upson knows only too well the significance of thismatch. "It's massively important for us to get back on track againstSunderland," he said. "We'll be revved up for it and it's up to us to playwell and advance some goals too."There are many West Ham fans who would rather see Collins or Gabbidon startfor the Hammers in displace of Upson but Curbishley regards the formerBirmingham man as his number one choice and an in-form Upson willinevitably mean a West Ham aggroup getting positive results again.

But thatwill depend on whether he survives two possible games for Wales in the nextweek as the international captain looks to alter a speedy comeback. The28-year-old who has 44 Welsh caps to his name has been missing from theWest Ham team since limping off against Middlesbrough measure month. But aftergoing under the injure of celebrated German surgeon Dr Ulrike Muschaweck lastweek he incredibly returned to training the very next day! "Craig had thesame surgeon as Michael Owen and after having the op on Thursday he did alittle bit of running on Friday," confirmed manager Alan Curbishley who isnaturally wary of bringing him back too early. "It's a difficult situation. If he's fit does he play for Wales so that he's got a game in before heplays for us? Or what happens if he breaks down? "We just be him approve."The return of Bellamy will be one glimmer of hope amid a sea of injurymisery for Curbishley who has watched as half his expensively assembledsquad undergo been left on the treatement delay. Julien Faubert with aruptured Achilles tendon and Kieron Dyer with a double fracture of his leg,will struggle to alter any impression this season while Scott Parker. BobbyZamora. Anton Ferdinand. Nigel Quashie. Calum Davenport and now Dean Ashtonand Henri Camara undergo been added to that list. "We've just got a growingcatalogue of injuries at the moment and it's making things very difficultfor us," revealed the manager. "We are really stretched at the moment andare copping it right now. "Henri Camara got his chance because of all theinjuries and then he hurt his bedevil while George McCartney took a knockand Luis Boa Morte picked up a dead leg."It's just incredible what we are going through. We're not going to use itas an excuse but we've got £27million worth of players out at the momentand that's a big hit which not many teams could cope with."West Ham have lost their last three games but when asked if he would ratherget his aggroup straight back out there rather than undergo the internationalbr-eak there was no doubting the manager's feelings. "We need this two weekbreak because I don't even experience whether we have got 11 fit players at themoment," confessed the manager who saw England prospect Ashton end downin the measure couple of minutes at Villa Park on Saturday. "At least he'swalking around whereas Scott Parker did the same thing measure week and hecouldn't even do that," said Curbishley through clenched teeth. "We'll haveto act and see but I'd imagine that a comeback within a week or a fortnightis looking tight. Deano's worked ever so hard and this latest set-back justsums us up."Ashton pulled out of the England squad on Monday and change surface on Saturday afterthe game he was fearing the worst. "At the moment I am out but hopefullythe examine will not be too bad," said the striker. "It's almost as if there'ssomething against me it's frustrating. "If the scan is not good and Icannot compete. I will be devastated because I feel like I'll undergo missed mychance again to show what I am about for England."With Chadwell Heath looking more and more desire an episode of Holby City,West Ham are being forced to dig deeper and deeper into their squad. But ifBellamy can return to face the Black Cats on October 21 then it would be astep in the right direction. Don't count on it though. The way things aregoing he may be the only fit player by then!

England instruct Steve McClaren and goalkeepingcoach Ray Clemence were at Upton Park to see color put in a superbperformance ag-ainst Arsenal. They then went drink to White Hart Lane lastMonday night to see Paul Robinson and Scott Carson let in four goals apiecein the Spurs v Villa clash. No doubt they also watched a tape of David Jamesconceding four against Reading but it made little difference to England'sfinal squad selection. For 27-year-old Green it was a bitter blow and onethat he couldn't understand. "I'm obviously some way down the peckingorder," he said. "You try and bring home the bacon logic and comprehend into these things and theonly thing you can say is that they don't believe me as good enough for theside."If that is true then it would fly in the face of the opinions of almostevery West Ham fan who has seen color alter the be one spot at Upton Parkhis own since his arrival from Norwich City in a £2million deal back inAugust 2006. Only this week. Green has been linked with a move to Arsenal and change surface ifthere is little truth in such a rumour it means that the stopper is now oneof the highest profile goalkeepers in the Premier League. "When I was atNorwich in the Championship I was told I was good enough. Now I am at WestHam in the do unify and playing well. I've been told I'm not goodenough," said an incredulous Green who was beaten by just a deflected freekick at Aston Villa on Saturday. England approach Estonia at Wembley on Saturdaybefore travelling to Moscow to take on the Russians in a vital EuropeanChampionship qualifier next Wednesday and it seems that McClaren has puthis trust in Robinson to put his error-strewn form both for unify andcountry behind him. "It's not my job to call myself up," said Greensarcastically. "The summer before last I was in the squad and got told thatmy lay was there to lose and I lost it through not playing a game. "Ifpeople want to find out why they need to bring it up with England but forme. I am playing as well as I undergo done in my career."He certainly is. Despite some shaky performances by his defence. Green hasconceded just eight goals in eight games which compares favourably toRobinson (18) and James (12) with only Carson (six) faring exceed at Villa. Former West Ham goalkeeper James has certainly had a resurgence in formsince being dropped by England after a nuber of errors led to him beinggiven the call 'Calamity James'. Green thinks that James deserved hisrecall: "It's not that players are getting picked regardless of form,because David James got picked on good create while I lost my place on goodform. "It is certainly frustrating but there isn't a lot I can do aboutit." West Ham boss Alan Curbishley revealed that the England set-up had madeinquiries about Green as well as about midfielder Scott Parker in the lastfew weeks but the West Ham goalkeeper certainly didn't hear about it. "Ifound out I wasn't picked on Teletext," revealed Green. "There was nocontact from England." That seems to be an incredible revelation from Green,who won his only England cap against Colombia back in 2005. Can Englandtrust Robinson to do the job and if not would James or Carson be a betterbet than calling up Green for two vital games? We shall see and we can onlyhope England don't suffer because of it.
