Ward scored the goal which earned Wolves a shock 1-0 win over Liverpool at Anfield - his first in nearly three years - and took their points tally to nine from the last five games.
It enabled Mick McCarthy's side to climb off the bottom of the Barclays Premier League table and push the Hammers back into 20th spot.
Ward said: "If you look at our form, it has improved because we've won three of the last five games. Now we need to win two games in a row which we haven't done so far this season.
"We definitely let the fans down against Wigan on Sunday and needed to bounce back and show the fans that we deserve to stay in this league.
"There was no better place than Anfield to show them how determined we are and how much it means to us to stay in this league than beating Liverpool."
