"Someone suggested that there is not a lot at stake," says the Hammers' caretaker boss, "but I disagree - it's very important we get a good result.
"We certainly don't want to finish lower than 14th on the back of three brilliant seasons where we've finished in the top half.
"I'm a great believer in having self-motivation, the desire to want to be a winner: wanting to be the best on the pitch comes from within and sometimes players forget that.
"It's in the back of their heads but sometimes you just have to try and bring that forward to remind them of their responsibilities to themselves, to be motivated for 90 minutes, to concentrate, and to play well."
But he admits that it will not be all out attack, adding:
"It's not in my nature to go for broke; if you do that from the first minute you find yourself dumped on your backside.
"But the intention is to win the game if we can, and if not to be nice and tight at the back.
"We are all disappointed we haven't kept more clean sheets this season, but as far as I'm concerned you shouldn't just point at the goalkeeper or the defenders -you have to look at the whole team.
"Likewise if you are not scoring it's probable that the strikers are not getting the service."
Picking the team, he says, will hardly be a problem, and he admits:
"There are so few fit senior players and with those not available you could make an excellent first team
"Hopefully we will have 12 or 13 to choose from so the biggest decision for me will be what tactics we will use; the conundrum is an enjoyable one."
And it is tactics, he insists, that are the key:
"In the last seven or eight years formations and tactics have played a bigger part in winning games than they ever have before."
He admits he is still getting over the shock of Harry and Frank leaving, and he adds:
"It seems strange not seeing them on the training ground and it is a difficult time at the club.
"I'll be eternally grateful for them giving me a job - they were superb people to work for and there is obviously a lot of sadness that Harry and Frank are not here.
"Some players were very disappointed about the departures, in fact most of them were, but you will always get one or two who don't show any disappointment for whatever reason."
As for the non playing employees, Glenn admits:
"These are now nervy times for the rest of the staff, though hopefully we'll all be OK.
"I'd like to think that the academy coaches will be OK because nowadays they tend to detach themselves from the football club, and some great players have been produced for the football club.
"But it's only human nature and I get the feeling that Peter and Tony are a bit uncomfortable, while Roger and myself will be like that ourselves.
"We both hope that we will be able to retain our places but we accept that when a new manager comes in he may often decide to bring in his own staff.
"But obviously myself and Roger hope to be kept on but we have to realize the possibilities."
