Hermansen says West Ham are improving before QPR

Mads Hermansen says West Ham are finding their rhythm before Friday's home match against QPR. Six league games unbeaten gives him a point, though the next test is turning that run into a win that would take West Ham top of the Championship.

Speaking to West Ham's official site, the goalkeeper said the players have built stronger relationships and a better understanding of one another. He has started all eight of the club's league matches so far and returned from Denmark duty with two more caps, including a clean sheet against Wales.

The match will begin with a tribute to former West Ham goalkeeper Luděk Mikloško. Hermansen said he hoped supporters would give him a fitting farewell and that the team could win for him.
