In his weekly column in the Hereford Times Graham Turner contrasted the way managers try to freshen up their sides towars the end of the season.
He noted how West Ham had recently been to Dubai for a short break.
"We haven't got the resources or the time to go and spend a few days in the sunshine. The best we can probably do is a day's paint-balling which we have done in the past. Players enjoy doing it, it freshens everything up and it is something totally different.
"Or we might go go-karting. It may sound strange but something like that gives the place a bit of a buzz because of its competitive nature. The banter and laughter can go on for several days and that is what is needed at this time of year.
"For the remaining four matches, and the play-offs, we need a spring in our step.
"We need to be looking forward to the games with confidence and it is the manager's and coach's job to ensure that the last few weeks of preparation are right and players go out with the assurance that they are fit and strong."
Meanwhile the paper reports that only Tony James and Ryan Green are doubts for Saturday.
"Tony James is very doubtful with his groin injury, although Ryan Green, who picked up a hamstring injury and a bruised ankle at Morecambe, may have recovered in time," said Turner.
