The left back has analysed the games against Leicester City, Chelsea and Sheffield United which has seen Sean Dyche’s team slide down the table.
At one point they were 4-0 down to the south west Londoners before giving the scoreline some respectability with a coupe of late goals.
But they were comfortably beaten by Sheffield United 3-0 the following week and need a win as badly as the Hammers, themselves in a slump which has sent alarm bells ringing all round the club and among the fans.
Its a crucial game for two teams looking to go into the international break on a high and although Taylor realises it’s going to be hard he believes the Lancastrian outfit will be up for it.
He said: “They’re a tough team, but we’ll be at home and we’ll fancy it. The three points are the most important thing and we’ll go again on Saturday.
“We were well below our standards (at Sheffield United), we know how we can play and what we’re good at, but we just didn’t do that.”
Don’t worry Burnley, the Charity Charlies are in town this weekend, we will get your season back up & running!
Ha ha. – we are the whipping boys for everyone!
If a team hasn’t won for ages – don’t worry West Ham next week !!
I see Chris Wood is back after injury and he always scores against us.
Cold, dismal day in Lancashire – can’t see our lot wanting to get their socks dirty……..3-1 Burnley.
To all you doom mongers, let me remind you of season 1985-86 when we only just lost out to being the CHAMPIONS by a very small margin, after the first 9 games in 1985 the Club had 10 pts from 2 wins 4 draws and 3 losses, WELL after 9 games this season we had 12pts so don’t get too worried just yet, lets see where we are come Xmas.
I have been supporting the Hammers since 1960 and have seen it all, highs, lows relegation & promotion and I think we will ride this storm and come back strong and maybe, just maybe, we will end up as high as 1986 if not, then in the Europa league places and an F.A.Cup win to boot, tell me I’m an optomist but I have had a bet that we win the F.A. Cup this season and finish in the top 7 so come on you Irons prove me right.
Good Post John.
The worrying thing is that Pellegrini seems to be losing the plot. He played Zabby against an olympic 100 meter winner lol and left Oggy out the team after showing his best form for 2 seasons. What does that tell the players ? If Lanzini can,t start in a team that took 1 point from Palace, Sheff Utd and Newcastle then he also must be shaking his head. He isn,t too many games away from losing that dressing room and when that happens we become too easy to play against. Seeing signs of that already?
Going through a bad spell? Not scoring? Conceding too many goals? Strikers on a drought? Just play West Ham. Easy. Just ask Everton
Who will be the manager to get us out of relegation trouble again . It’s been the same old and sad repetitive theme for far too long . League Cup ; gone and forgotten , thanks Pelligrini .
FA Cup will go the same sad way with a half team fielded . Pelligrini is completely out of touch with the fans . We need very badly to be celebrating something which is totally lost on Pelligrini . We have suffered a massive dip in performance and moral attitude since that League Cup exit to a lower league club . The decision by Pelligrini not to chase a Cup has effected the whole squad and fans . A winning team was put to one side and has suffered ever since . Sorry , but the buck stops at Pelligrini’s office door . And apart from that the players coming out and saying we must improve is and has become old hat . Don’t talk but do . Our charity bus needs the brakes to be applied and it’s high time we started upsetting teams instead of giving them results on a plate … that’s all we are asking for .
