Wins by Aston Villa, Bournemouth and Southampton have not helped the Hammers in their relegation dog fight.
After tonight’s results West Ham are in danger in seventeenth place in the Premier League table only separated from the 18th and 19th relegation places by just goal difference all on 23 points.
While Norwich seems set for relegation this season on just 17 points over six points from safety the remaining two relegation places are in play for a number of teams including West Ham as it stands.
The Hammers have two games in hand but since they are against third-placed Leicester City tomorrow night and Premier League leaders Liverpool next Wednesday optimism is not high to get points from either of the two games.
David Moyes admitted earlier today he might not sign any further players in this transfer window and that is leaving supporters worried about the remainder of the season and a very real threat of relegation.
…but with half the season to go….glass half empty?
22 games played 23 points. That could shortly turn into 24 games played with 23 points. 15 games left to get 20 points. 42 point to scrape across the line. Things are bad
Yeh but we wint spend on transfers
If we get a point from every game we have left (16) we are 50/50 to go down. Thats a dangerous place to be
And if Watford, Crystal Palace and Brighton had won we would of been happy days? No, yes if they’d all drew it would of been perfect but very unlikely, this is not a new situation we find ourselves in
Club only have themselves to blame.
Relegation this time could see the club take years and years to get back , can anyone see us getting to 40 points this year?
Next 4 games nil points, then we need to win 6 out of last 10.
Hmmm
Good news just got Man City tickets!!
Look I’m a fan of 60 years and I don’t want relegation but if it means getting rid of the 2 David’s and baroness know it all… I’ll take it…
If we don’t sign anyone else then I believe SuGo are preparing for championship football already.
The owners need to wake up because the time for doing the minimum necessary to move up the table is OVER!
It’s Nuts up time…….. How much is it WORTH or How much will it COST to avoid relegation???
We are going down unless we sign at least a striker, and a strong midfielder…
The bottom 7 clubs are drifting away and we are in a fight to survive, lose tomorrow and we’re in deep shi$…
I don’t think we have enough backbone on our squad to get out of this, sorry the truth hurts!!!
What players do we have that show any passion or conviction to the club we love?
Jeff, I totally agree we are in a fight for survival and that we need reinforcements asap. Whilst I wasn’t happy with the amount of ‘true grit’ displayed on the pitch in many games under Pellegrini, I think ALL the players have showed passion and conviction since David Moyes took over. COYI
We signed our death warrant when they failed to act on the hopeless Pellegrini 4 months ago and took the unwanted uninspiring Moyes.
We will sign no one of any class as Moyes can not attract a player, a good coach but never a good manager.
The teams with the poorest managers normally go down and I’m afraid we are in the bottom 3 in that category.
We have 2 hopes, Antonio and Fabianski………..
I too look at other results and hope that they go in our favour – but ultimately our fate is in our own hands as we need to reach (say) 40 points and then it doesn’t matter what other teams do
One good thing about last night was that it showed that Watford despite their good recovery are not world beaters and if we could go down so could they
We might be surprised where points come from ultimately (e.g. if we get a point from Liverpool and something at Leicester tonight)
As with Good Old Daze I feel taht we are showing a lot more organisation and fight since Moyes took over so I still have hope of avoiding relegation
COYI
Exactly my thoughts Zahama =along with Brighton who are in trouble. We have likes of Saints. Brighton, Burnley, Villa, Watford (home) Norwich away, Arsenal away and inconsistent Chelsea (h). Easy for knees to jerk but we aren’t too badly off for fixtures after Liverpool, City
Some of the games against top sides bring funny results later in the season. They sometimes suffer from tiredness-you might get them after a long trip away in midweek or they might save players for an upcoming European game. Especially if if by then they have nothing much to play for in the PL. It is clutching at straws. In the final analysis it will probably depend on a)whether we avoid an injury crisis b) whether Moyes can get a tune from the players over the next few months , & especially whether he can get somebody to go on a scoring run.
