Nolan and Andy Carroll will be Championship players in May unless they can correct their ailing season and secure Premier League survival.
The Hammers have one win in nine matches in all competitions and their "one step from Wembley" Capital One Cup semi-final was as big a humiliation as the competition has ever seen!
On Tuesday night they suffered a 3-0 home loss to Manchester City, who won the two-legged semi-final 9-0 on aggregate.
West Ham are 18th in the Premier League ahead of next week's trip to high-flying Chelsea and manager Sam Allardyce has targeted 22 points from the remaining 16 games for his side to retain their top-flight status.
Kevin Nolan: "We've got one focus and that's just to stay in the Premier League.
"There are going to be so many battles now, from now until the end of the season.
"We're firmly up for it and we're looking forward to it. I'm relishing it and hoping to prove a lot of people wrong come May.
"There's lots of hard work to be done, from now until Chelsea, then on to the next game and until the end of the season. One thing we've got to do is stick together, keep that camaraderie going, keep the unity and togetherness.
"It's going to be a load of battles now and hopefully we'll enjoy it and win the war come the end of the season."
