Carver has rejected suggestions Newcastle "bottled it" in squandering the chance to secure their Premier League safety.
John Carver: "I'm not so sure about 'bottled it'. We had a 10-minute mad spell in the game.
"In the first half we were in control not under any threat.
"But then we shot ourselves in the foot again in that 10 minutes after half-time.
"It was in our hands today and we could have put it to bed today.
"This is the biggest game (West Ham) this football club has had for a long, long time.
"I want the same atmosphere we had against West Brom a fortnight ago.
"Because it could be the fans who actually get us across the line and keep our Premier League status.
"That's the way they were against West Brom and it made a difference to the team.
"There will be a lot of people asking 'why should they?', but it's because they want us to stay in the Premier League. If it can give us that extra five or 10 per cent to stay in the Premier League, then we need it.
"And once we get the game out of the way, and we have our Premier League status, then we can have our post-mortem and we'll deal with that."
