Hammers get a home comforts boost

West Ham are looking advantage which could well prove critical as we go into the last 15 games of the League season.

Nine of those will be played at the London Stadium as the imbalance from our start four games away start is corrected.

It mans we have more games on our own manor than any of the teams fighting for safety around us and it’s a fact not lost on the skipper Mark Noble.

The midfielder loyalist has been finding some of his bet form over recent weeks and declared: ““We are in a good place at the moment, psychologically and performance-wise, but we can’t take our foot off the pedal because we have four games coming up which are winnable.

“We know Bournemouth are a fantastic team, but I hope we can continue the form that we’re in. If we can repeat the way we played at Huddersfield last weekend, we’ll have a good chance to do that.

“We have got nine home games left out of 15 and if we can win five or six of them, it will set us up really well. If we can add a few away wins, that would be perfect.”
